You nailed it.

GM drum brake cars have a similar setup on the rear and require the pads to be supported on one end.

You posted: "anyone care to add their .02." I read that you where stiffening the rear arms. Real life structural engineers have tested and tested our rear arms (recently..not 30 years ago) and have found them to be plenty strong for cars with slicks up to 10 inches wide. It adds weight. I find them useless. If you ask around.. everybody says our arms flex.. but no one has proof. They are "following" what the factory did.. and the factory was having problems with the rubber bushings moving around not the control arms.

Got it Brad... recent studies show the boxed kits add 3lbs. weight and over 40% in stiffness.

Now it's off to find a couple 40mm spacers to weld on.

That would have been a fun learning experience w/o the list huh? Timo, you rock.

Hey Gang,

A friend of mine may have an additional set of 911 hand brake assemblies for sale off his 71 (that year fits) if anyone is interested. He may switch to aluminum 911 rear control arms and they use different assemblies.

E-mail me off the list if you're interested and I can get you in touch with him:

ericscottshea@cs.com

P.S. Hubs as well...?

Here's my modified arm. I was going to have the cables run through the arm. I welded the spacer that I cut off my donor 911 arms. I couldnt figure where to put the spacer, if the spreader was at 6. Let me know if the eBrake handle on the center tunnel works, with stock 911 cables.

Eddie have you test fit the ebrake shield?

I wonder if you removed metal in the areas where the bearing cover goes.

The reason I ask is cuz it still looks squared and if you havent already test fit the cover it may not fit.

Just lookin out for ya! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Here's anothe shot of the bearing housing. I like the way the sand blasting smoothed everything out (like anyone will ever see it!!)

The infamous "Timo" mods performed last weekend...

40mm flat steel welded to the backing plates.

Hey, dont blame me. I am just helping you.....

The parts looks good. Let us know how they works when you have assembled and tested them.

And a big help you were... that would have gone un-noticed.

Thanks again... the mod was simple.

This will probably be the last post on this subject (I can hear the collective sigh of relief). Big thanks to Timo, Brad and others for helping out. I'll try to keep everyone posted on the center mounted handbrake and cables but I'm assuming that will come a bit later as I dig into the body (next).

Bolted everything up this AM for a trial fit and all looks good.
