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;
Here is some more "food for thought" stuff. If I was going to do it, this is the bracket that I'd weld to the housing. (IMG:http://www.performanceforum.com/wesvann/914a/my-rear-brake/924bracket.jpg) It would serve the function of having the bearing pads for the spreader and also the shoe stop. It would be positioned where I'm holding the scale in the following photo; (IMG:http://www.performanceforum.com/wesvann/914a/my-rear-brake/924.jpg) If after fabricating and installing it looked too weak (at the top), it would be possible to add a stiffener on the car side that matched the radius. Personally, I'd just go with the 924 spreader (straight pull), but if you used the BMW one, the opening for it could be smaller. (the opening wouldn't have to clear the "tangs" on the 924 spreader, just the arm it's self. Wes (I've got to get a life) Vann |
