Yeah you could I was think more along the lines of aircraft components - I can't remember the name of the types of cables but you've got ones that you can push as well as pull... I think they are also used in production line automation... I'll look it up in a bit.

You could also mount a Mercedes-like looking knob under the dash just next to the hand brake release... make it look like it was meant to be there.
