Not all of the Ercoupes had the T handle. Routing that cable between the T handle and the brake pedal can be "fun", especially when you found it slipped into the wrong place and you have to take things back apart to attach it properly.

BY THE WAY! The nut on that T-handle behind the panel can cut into the wire going to the ammeter and cause a huge electrical short. Strongly recommend you re-route that section of wire to above the T-handle so to eliminate that possibility.

Good Luck!

I'm new to the Ercoupe and have just purchased a 415 completely disassembled. Its like a giant puzzle. Question: was the brake on the rudderless models actuated by a T handle on the instrument panel or a pedal?
