The 914 I bought does not have a hand brake installed. The PO took it out and had the guts re- cad plated but never put it back together or installed it. Good news is I do have the cables, though.
So I installed some 996 seats and I am concerned the original e-brake handle will be jammed into the area next to the new seats (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1279679975.1.jpg) The question I have is: Has anyone tried using an after market handle like the Lokars pictured? Perhaps in the area between the two seats on a custom fabbed mount? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1279679977.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i954.photobucket.com-11663-1279679977.3.jpg) Any thoughts on the subject? As always - appreciated in advance. Rob |

944 cables go two into one. check them out also. They are also a source for the angle pull type of spreader that is used on the 914 with 911 brakes. It's the same spreader thats on bmws also.

It's the same spreader thats on bmws also. I picked up a set of 944 "spreaders" from a local Pick-n-Pull and was honestly underwhelmed, so I went with 911 parts for my parking brake setup that I've built into my project. True, it pulls only from one side, but I've followed the lead of others that have used the same concept. Full disclosure: my car is done yet, but I don't remember seeing a completed 944 spreader-type setup used in real-world use... |
