This setup would probably be some what ok just for parking . There is no mechanisim for the back spreader to work , only the front side where the nut threads on the shaft and gets cotter pinned . Apply the brake and try to move the car with it applied and it will probably twist up what is there . The rest block is what keeps the assembly from rotating with the disc hub. Even American cars with drum brakes have a sturdy rest stop / anchor pin that the shoes reat agaist and the springs attach to . Fellas think about it , as I am sure most all of you have done brakes on American cars also , this rest stop is not unique to Porshes , as the parking / emergency brake setup uses the mechanical drum brake setup that the DOT requires on all street driven vehicles , thats one of the reasons for installing mechanical emergency brakes , they're there to possibly save lives .
Yall smoke it over , and revisit what you want versus what you need . I'm going the 928 e brake route which Chris's cable idea would work great if it had a clevis at the wheel side to fit the spreader mechanisim. Jaxdream |
