Clay Perrine's solution

Being discussed on the Bird board now. He's prepared to make up 50 sets of the brackets if he can find buyers. The caliper is an off-the-shelf Wilwood part.

Check this thread out from last year:

911 Handbrake Conversion

I have yet to get to the 911 handbrake issue but I am close. I built the suspension last year for another tub. I decided not to use that tub but my new tub is basically ready for this.

I will use a 911 handbrake on the center tunnel as some of the factory GT rally cars had. I had the extra pieces laying around (911 e-brakes, extra handbrake mechanism).

The reason I went vented was simple. I'm using an S-Caliper up front and I wanted to balance that caliper out with the proper one the factory used on the rear which was a 911 rear m-caliper. The 911 m-caliper is set up with spacers for vented rotors. I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to have them on the car. The upside is the vented rotors for a 911 now drop right on and they're quite a bit less expensive than the one-off 914-6 solid rotor.

I too would love to know Andy's 911 cable secret... as I'm fast approaching the install. I will be going center tunnel as explained before and I'm about to weld in a couple tubes and cut for the handbrake lever. Being center mounted I might be fine with the equal length cables but...

Andy any advise? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
