911 e-brake for 914, Looks like it works Options

[Luke M]

The one thing that kept me from going to big brakes on the rear of the 914 was the e-brake. I was looking around and found this set up. It looks like it works good. Is this some one from here? Check out the link.

"I have to agree with 914Timo. The way you have configured the bellcrank assembly will not actuate the shoe spreader as intended. Though your approach is clever, it only actuates one of the two speaders. Perhaps it may work; let us know please. "

I'm using a single spreader on the outboard side of the brake shoes. The outer cable sheath is fixed and all the pulling is done by the inner cable only. This seems to work well and provides more than enough force to expand the shoes and lock up the brakes.

I can't confirm this but I think different years of 911's used either one or two spreaders. I have a set of banana's from a '78 sc that only have the spreaders on the outboard side and the end of the cable sheath fits into a resess on the triling arm.

Hope that helps,
