Here's one possible answer for you -- a Spyder brake on a different kind of mount. I have 914-replacement discs in the back, so this pulls the e-brakes on both sides.
The perch it's on is a three-inch piece of my front beam, welded to a couple pieces of bar stock. The tunnel cap was something I came up with to close off the old e-brake's gaping hole in the tunnel. The old brake looked kind dumb with no carpet around it.
The repro 550 brake assembly was stupid expensive ($500 USD) and the metal's really weak. I have to be careful not to bend the handle when I pull it.
There are other options, but this was what answered the mail for me at the time.

Wow that's pretty cool.

I was showed something by a friend who's building my motor this weekend. Bay window handbrake set-up with two cables.

Runs the length of the tunnel in a steel flexible hose and then fit the bay window handle with the ratchet under the dash of the speedy.

This way there is not too much fab work to do, only custom cables and then getting a unit from a bay window.
