Uh oh... I think I screwed myself. I bought an Ebay e-brake handle:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6763&item=2464356209

The thing has a round opening. Now since I can't seem to pull off the plastic stock cover,I know that I have to cut it off. However, the stock ebrake handle (under the stock cover) is like a metal tube that has another piece jutting out the bottom. Comparing the opening of my cheap-bay ebrake handle, I don't think it'll fit... and I'm not about to commit to cutting my stock handle to find out. The cheapbay handle looks too small!

Has anyone been about to install one of these cheap-bay handles to a 6th gen? How did you do it?
