You could just switch to an electric brake actuator like the Estopp:

As part of my restoration planning, I've been coming up with a short list of
mods that I could have done that "just make sense".  Why they located the
e-brake handle on the far side of the console where it's not that easy to
reach has always been a puzzle to me - probably a seat clearance issue.
Don't the later cars, GT5-S, have the brake on the driver's side of the
console?

Since I'm going to have the car down to a bare shell at that point, I can't
think it would be that hard to re-engineer it to the other side with
everything out of the way: some fabrication work and reverse the hardware
under the car.  Has anybody done such a mod?
