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) |

911 shoe on the left and a 944 on the right it the same shoe except the 944 has a notch for the spreaders instead of the pins for the 911. Also the 944 has a slot instead of a hole for the retainer spring that holds it to the backing plate.
The spreader on the left is out of a BMW which the cable pulls 90 degrees to the backing plate. The spreader on the right is from a 924/944 and the cable comes in at an angle to the backing plate. The tangs on the back of the BMW spreader is so the loose pin that hooks the cable to the spreader doesn't fall out. Attached image(s) |

With the 944 shoe having a slot vs. a hole for the retainer spring does that mean you have to use the 911 shoe? If you are using the 911 shoe, are you grinding a notch for the spreader? Also, you mention that the 90 degree spreader is from a BMW. If you look at the PET diagram for the 928, the BMW and 928 spreader look the same if not identical. |
