Reply to "Rear spot callipers"

Mark,
I cant say it was my idea. I saw a hydraulic handbrake assembly in a demon tweeks catalog. They use them for rally driving. I just adapted the system to use the stock handbrake lever so I would have the ratchet lock. I also rerouted my rear brake line through my drivers compartment to make the install easier. Its not neccessary though. The handbrake unit uses a small master cylinder in line with the rear brakes. All of the braking of the Main master cylinder goes through it. The secondary cylinder uses the fluid from the main reservoir. As soon as its activated it closes off the circuit to the main master and acts activates the rear brakes. The smaller the cylinder you use the more power to the parking brakes albeit with more travel in the handbrake lever. Here is a link to the unit. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.as...=MSPORT&pcode=RIX650 I made mine to have a forward mounted cylinder so I could save some room. If you have some skill with making brake lines and building minor bracketry you should have no problem installing this. The only issue is that it requires some cutting of the center console for fitment. This turns off most people. There might be a way to do it without reversable modification but I am modifying my interior so didnt put a lot of though into it.
