Unscrew it out of the back of the gearbox. Make a bracket that attaches to the chassis front crossmember. That way you can move it away from the gearbox a smidge to suit. If the handbrake doesnt quite fit in the guide you just slot the holes for its bearings to suit with a file. You generally will need no more than 1/16.
Its a pretty common mod to an uncoupled braked SWB chassis when youve seen a few chassis. One of the benefits is that you can then fit any 3 speed box onto the car, even the post 1930 ones without the female thread. It also allows you to fit a 4 speed box (if you drill some new engine mounting holes - or if you use a later crankcase.)
The chassis for my AE came like that, very crude, but a bloody good idea.
