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) |

Hi guys , I too have been wanting a 911 ebrake setup similar to what is going on here .I have been studing all the threads on the forum and figured that there was a "different " way to do e-brakes , Craig is on the same path that I come up with including the little box that the spreader works in and rchard is right about the raised portion of the backing part of the box. This setup will work on the angled pull similar to tha 924 , taking the 90 bend out of the eqation and moving the cables closer to the arm for protection, I haven't posted any of my workings yet as they are in my parts colection , but have spent a few hours studing the parts and their operations , personnaly this IS the most effective setup I've seen yet and should prove to be an asset to guys wanting a reliable e-brake setup . I got most all of the parts mention here off of the e-place , was just patient and got most for very cheap , 928 rear hubs spindles e-brake,shoes spreaders , partial cables $50 something delivered!! Isee welding an shoe stop to the arm similar to the E-30 part with a tube perhaps that would give the angle of the 924 , either with cable if possible or a rod of sorts , but like Craig has mentioned it has to have the springs on it for return of the spreader . I like this thread !!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
