I think I've come up with a totaly new way to hook up 911 parking brakes. It involves making up longer hybrid cables.
It's not complex, doesn't cost tons, and is about as straight forward as possible. It functions exactly as intended in the 911. Here is a teaser photo; (IMG:http://www.performanceforum.com/wesvann/914a/my-rear-brake/b-mrb1.jpg) Here is a link to my write-up on how I did it (it's a preliminary write-up). hybrid cables Wes (can somebody please find me the photo that I've seen on this site where somebody used a cable end block at the parking brake lever that had set screws) |

I formally bow in humility to Clay Perrine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
I had the local Porsche dealer pull up the PET diagram that shows the 1981 924 backing plate and I can see that modifying the 911 backing plate to work in the same fashion would be difficult and I don't think it would be worth it!! The backing plate not only has the equivalent of the 40mm shoe support, but also the two bearing pads for the separator tabs (as shown by jcd914's diagram). All of that could be addressed, but the little details just keep adding up to the point where it's not worth it. (in my defence, I think it's always good to go in and "re-think" stuff that may be considered as fact) Wes Vann |
