Question 1: Does a 914 rear caliper need fluid in it for the parking brake parts to work?
Background: I'm building a small (250cc Yamaha-based) trike and need a rear brake system that can be operated by a cable connected to the bike's foot pedal (no hydraulics). I remembered that a 914's parking brake is cable-actuated, so the plan is to hook the bike's foot pedal cable to the parking brake arm on a 914 rear brake caliper. (I'd mount the rotor directly to the Comet differential case so one brake will work both rear wheels - should be sufficient stopping power at the sub-freeway speeds the Yamaha can achieve.) Question 2: Any reason it wouldn't work, or issues I need to deal with? More into: If pictures help, I've documented the plan at http://www.carcentric.com/YamahaSR250Trike.htm Thanks for any assistance, M D "Doc" Nugent Former owner of 914 Lite 2.5 http://home1.gte.net/nugentmd/914lite.htm |
