I've been running these prototype parking brakes on my black six since last year (on 2 cars @ last years WCC) and they haven't missed a beat. Hill holding on a 15 deg grade is better than my OE 9146 e-brakes that these replace.
Legal dept. just advised me that we can start showing these, as things are moving forward over there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
BTW, the P crest is for fashion statement only-the production items will be black, or have the msds logo on it. The system is purely bolt on, no welding, machining, and uses off the shelf Wilwood brand spot disc floating calipers.
The OE cable gets an "Extended" rod in the kit, and the brake and rod have lots of adjustment capability . The first p-brake kits that we build, will be for the 911 style ventillated rotor used with the Boxster 4 piston caliper (as shown here). We use 986 (Rich Johnson style) adapter blocks for the rear Boxster brake upgrade. These blocks give a solid locating point for the rod in our kit. My black car stops excellent with Boxster brakes all around-- but I know that some customers will want p-brake kits for big reds.
That kit will follow inital production of the Boxster 986 style / first kit.
Right now we are sorting out all contracters for this product, so no PN or price yet. I'll post updates from time to time on any ETA's for this product.
Happy Holidays !
Marty

Thats looks great,


I can't wait to hear the full details,as most of us w/brake upgrades probably don't have e-brakes.As I don't.

Thanks for working on these types of products. When I needed a flared rear valance to finish off a GT conversion, it was MSDS to the rescue! It's nice to see new ideas still being applied to these cars.

Thx guys for the props on the p-brakes.
Doug, before these go up for sale they will be tried on a variety of wheels--15" Fuchs and Felix's Technos too ! Right now they clear the 9 x 16" and the 8x 16" Fuchs.
I'm using the 19mm MC , stock prop valve and Troutman braided lines . The brakes were just about like the 9146 units in stopping power ...until I drove them hot and abusive. Once they set in- it's all different. These brakes are basically a great bolt-on performance mod for the money (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Interesting Porsche patent on a handbrake lever, atty's found this while doing the Patent Search on the new 914 parking brake patent application (now pat pending). Of all places, the patent was issued in Japan. Anyone familiar with patents know why Japan and not USA, or elsewhere ?

All I can think of is that the patent must be maintained...

Possibly in Japan its a longer maintanence timframe.

I remember that each year we would need to pay to keep up the patent in certain countries...

Marty,

Any issues with the "loose pin" in the Wilwood caliper? Talking about the actuator pin, and how it is separate from the backing plate and pad. When I asssembled these on a set of rotors, it seemed like having those loose "floating" parts in there could cause problems? Maybe not an issue after all? Haven't run them so don't know, but it looked like very careful adjustment would be required (at a minimum).
I like how you handled the floating caliper part. Still working on a design for this myself, but I think I'll do a bracket that bolts to the caliper that then slides on pins attached to the main mounting plate. I didn't like the un-evenness of the slider slots in the caliper.
