Well..........I'm ready to admit that I don't know what the term  "flyoff"
means although I think that type of handbrake is what I  have  on my 58 TR3A.
Anyone care to enlighten me on this?


Fran, it's pretty much as it sounds. A "flyoff" handbrake ideally needs  only 
a slight pull back on the handle, then let go and it disengages (although  it 
needs the additional motion of the thumb on the button to "set" it). The  
opposite is often referred to as "fly-on," since it takes no effort beyond the  
pull of the handle to ENGAGE it.
