Hydraulic or simply longer handbrake lever for K12 .....

So i've put Sparco Pro 2000 bucket seats into my Micra, but trying to use the handbrake has now become very awkward because of the edges of the bucket seat ....

Does anyone have any idea how I could fix this problem? I was thinking either installing a hydraulic handbrake that took the place of the standard brake and then desgining a locking mechanism for it that would allow it to be used for parking uses, or simply welding a piece of metal onto the end of the handbrake button and then welding a metal sleeve over the outside of the lengthened button and effectively just make the handbrake lever longer. Any ideas??
 
Hydraulic handbrake would be ok as long as you retained the cable handbrake for MOT purposes.
 
Hmm so would a hydraulic handbrake with a locking mechanism be the best compromise? And am i wrong in thinking that a hydraulic handbrake is just a straight swap for a standard handbrake and just connects to the same handbrake cables ...?
