tbh in my experience its easier to just get the right parts in the first place, makes the end result alot better

Only thing is that i'd need a GX81 hand brake, and I dont think I would find many let alone one for cheap

You did too, but I already ordered GZ10 CABLE 46410 and I may as well use the hand brake that I already have seeing as I doubt it will sell. Also, I am using genuine Toyopet parts all the the swap so im not cheaping out by any means

just depends on demand, makes sense that in NZ parts wont be cheap, but go to Japan...

Don't worry, I know Auto MX83s have Hand brakes, and I asked on that too, Spartan said they only had Auto ones (X81s) as in foot brake Auto, I did ask them "are there any MX83s with Hand brakes wrecked?" and they said no, only foot brake setups. All other wreckers told me that the last time they had these cars there was about 12 years ago at least.
