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) |

Here's a picture of the fabbed up cable. You can see in the picture that i used the stock 914 outer sheathing and a piece of the 914 clutch cable outer sheathing. I used a 2" piece of 5/8th OD copper pipe to tie them together. I notched the copper pipe to support the stock C clip on the 914 E. brake cable. I pretty much copied Clay, but used a piece of the clutch cable sheath versus bending a piece of conduit. Pro's and con's on all the techniques, but mine was the least amount of hassle for me and my lack of welding and fabrication skills!!
