Default center mount E-Brake

Does one exist for these cars? I met a guy today that had polio as a kid, and cannot get any strength from his left arm, and will not be able to effectively use the left side brake handle.
Has anyone out there seen or heard of a kit to move the E-brake to the center console, or a foot operated (is there room?) system?
Thanks, Greg.

I give mine an extra click with my right arm after exiting the vehicle.

a line lock would be the easiest but I wouldn't trust it if parked for a while.

Just slide it over the handle and lift, easy peasy.

I would look at PET and see what the difference is between the LHD and the RHD park brake assemblies, from the handle through to the rear brakes.

Seems to me you might be able to adapt a RHD handle high on the passenger side (of a LHD 944) on the torque tunnel and re-route the cable.
