I currently do not have an e brake installed. Previous owner did not put in possibly due to race seats in front? Any advice on remote e brake kits such as e-stopp or others? Any restrictions or best place to install? Thanks in advance for your help.

I would buy Tangerines kit. There is a thread on how to bolt the 911 shoe brake e-brake assembly to the trailing arm.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=4909 I am not a fan of the metal stop on the shoe brake. The factory welded a heavy plate to the trailing arm for a reason. If you just want a parking brake it’s fine, but picture your self grabbing the emergency brake at speed. The brakes shoes will rip off that metal tab if it’s welded to the thin sheet metal of the e-brake assembly. Wes (rip) helped me with mine. Here is a link to his thread. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...72&hl=Brake |

[/quote] (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) ask my how I know,it not only rips the stop off the backing plate the springs and shoe retainers get destroyed @ the same time. The 911 backing plate isn't heavy enough,Steve is correct 100%...you have a handbrake but not an emergency one if the conversion is done this way. I intent to re-engineer what the PO did with my setup.....peace of mind from a safety point of view also. |
