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) |

Lots of good information this is a fun thread and totally different what Wes has started
I hope you don't mine about your thread being hijacked. I was going to use the one from the BMW and use a bell crank to operate it until Richard Casto brought up about using the 924/944 spreader and hooking up direct. So today I explored this a I think its going to work as there will be no bell crank to make. Clay brought up an interesting point about the shoe stop. I checked to see if the shoes could be twisted back and forth and they could plus you can see a shiny area where the shoes would make contact with the stop. Here is what I found out today as I tried the 924/944 spreader |

Lots of good information this is a fun thread and totally different what Wes has started I hope you don't mine about your thread being hijacked. I have NO problem with how this string has morphed!! (I originally just wanted to brag about finding that VW bus cable) There has been a lot of good information covered and ideas explored. I like the idea of it being in one area! I like what Craig is doing, however I think using a hard connection between the spreader and 914 cable would be easier to do than a cable. Think high strength threaded rod (from McMaster Carr) and clevis's. Am I correct that there is a "left" and a "right" version of the BMW spreader? It would seem that there would have to be in order to have the angle of pull match the side it's mounted on. Wes |
