Has anyone checked out Wilwoods Combination Parking Brake Caliper? It is a radial mount and has a 34mm bore. Might be a great way to get bigger brakes and keep the parking brake. Now if I could only source the brackets to mount to the tarailing arm.

You are going to find out what we already know. If you set the brake with the rotor hot, it won't release when it is cold. Mike Floyd had this setup on his 914, and he had to beat the calipers with a hammer to get them to release in the morning.
He now has a 911 style park brake. |

Well the obvious thing would be to not set the brake when it's hot. If you think the brakes are anything more than -warm-, don't set the parking brake. Not only can the pad bond to the rotor, or the piston overheat and seize, but the rotor can warp and/or crack. If the brakes are hot, park it in gear and leave it. Better yet, drive around easy 'till the brakes -are- cool. -Josh2 |
