I think I've come up with a totaly new way to hook up 911 parking brakes. It involves making up longer hybrid cables.
It's not complex, doesn't cost tons, and is about as straight forward as possible. It functions exactly as intended in the 911. Here is a teaser photo; (IMG:http://www.performanceforum.com/wesvann/914a/my-rear-brake/b-mrb1.jpg) Here is a link to my write-up on how I did it (it's a preliminary write-up). hybrid cables Wes (can somebody please find me the photo that I've seen on this site where somebody used a cable end block at the parking brake lever that had set screws) |

Craig,
Excellent job! It looks like you are well on the way of figuring this out! I assume the next step in the photo below is to weld in a spacer for the pad and that same spacer might do the same job as the 924/944/928 backing plate and act as a brace for the spreader? After you run cables, it looks like you might have a working solution using the pull spreader! Richard |
