I am in the process of converting to 911 ebrakes. I have done a search and there is lot's of good info and pics. I have done the grinding to get the ebrake hardware to fit the 914 hub. I have it all mounted. I have fabbed and welded the stationary piece that the ebrakes have to stop against. However what I can't figure out from the pics is what are the rough dimensions of the transition/bell crank piece? I have moved the OEM cable mounts so I know where the cable will end and I have left room for the swing arm to do its thing but my head is stuck on this bellcrank. Can anyone give me the dimensions of the pieces they fabbed? And what did you use for raw stock? I am brain dead on figuring this out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I used forged clevises from McMaster Carr and 1/4-28 socked head cap screws with jam nuts (for the adjustment). I also used male spherical washers under the heads of the fasteners (where they seat against the bow-ties) for any mis-alignment. I have been using them for more than a year now with no issues (after the initial adjustments).
I can look up part numbers if it would help you. Once upon a time, I looked at "kits" but they would have been more money than I thought the typical CSOB would pay so I never made any "kits". Good luck with your project. |
