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) |

Craig;
Here is an idea for you to think about; Make up a clevis with a female m6x1.0 thread (I think that's the thread size, I'll check), then use that longer VW bus cable. It screws into the clevis and has a jam nut. By doing that, you would have a continuous cable (with about 18" exposed between the 914 sheathing bracket and the clevis). The bracket for the 914 cable sheathing would have to be re-located and pointed in the correct direction. Which you will have to do anyway. You would still have to make a cable end at the firewall area, but that's been covered. Wes Vann |
