Hi all, I am presently checking out a 76 teener that Rob Watson is selling. (It's the one he is fixing the torsion bar on) The PO already did a 5 lug conversion and has the front calipers on the rear now, which means no e-brake. Is there any way to fit on or modify anything to add an e-brake anywhere in the system. My drive way is steep enough that I will feel very uncomfortable leaving it just parked in gear, and don't want to always have to put a block behind the weels. Any suggestiond on what to do or where to search are greatly appreciated.

you can use a 911 ebrake setup with 911 rotors. i will be doing this soon.
here are a few threads you should read. http://phoenixhobbies.com/html/911_e-brakes.html http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...54987&st=20 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...amp;t=4909& |

You could go with stock 914/4 or 914/6 calipers. You can widen either one for vented rotors and keep the stock parking brake.
If you like a lot of work you can fabricate the 911 drum brake setup with vented rotors. Or you could fabricate this style of emergency brake from the RSR: Attached image(s)

Thanks All! I will be contacting Eric if/when this sale is completed. At least now I have the knowledge that I can handle doing this upgrade should I need to.
