![]() ![]() If that would be the case you also have the choice of locking the front wheels, like a line lock.Īnd do the inline handbrake handles have a latch inside? I think drift handbrakes usally lack a latch. So one master cylinder circuit does both front brakes and one master cylinder circuit does the rears? They are not cross linked? Pass through hydraulic single channel piston (0.75” preferred for minimal throw) Ok, now that that is out of the way here are some details regarding common fittings and missing information (or unconfirmed) that is needed to make this a more easy install. If you do you, your passengers and bystanders may die in a fiery death. You should NOT install one of these devices under any circumstances. By no means do I recommend or suggest you do something like this to your car. Of course this is for an off road demonstration only. However, I think a few members and maybe would be willing to share findings while hardware is installed. Unfortunately, it appears people are stingy with their hydrobrake information. So, the connection in a W30 is somewhat different. However, for our improved safety and braking application we wish to retain the four channel ABS capability. This is common practice for drift cars but their application is different and usually the ABS is bypassed. To remedy both of these issues some owners have fitted hydraulic hand brakes in place of the cable brakes. Some upgrade only the front brakes leading to an unsafe situation with far too much front bias. Some people wish to upgrade to big brake kits only to find out that they will no longer have an emergency brake or parking brake. standard service brakes with a secondary system is my ideal, for obvious safety and liability reasons.Many W30 owners constantly deal with adjustment or failing handbrake systems in our cars. just like my disk brake conversion, i want to keep as much as standard LR as possible. I am a very mindful person and any system i think up, or may try will be thorougly thought through, with safety and optimum operation top of the list. Just as a note more to stop the safety hacking more than anything. Probably wont just work that easy but if so it keeps the handbrake completely separate to the service brakes. utilising stage one v8 front twin leading shoe backing plates, maybe using 2x single leading shoe rear masters.also prolonged pressure on the slaves could cause them to leak over a period of time, leaky handbrake seals, an inconvenience and bad enough, but leaky service brake slaves is a very bad thing IMO Tee the handbrake master into the rear brake circuit which means:Ĭould be frowned upon even if done to the best of practises although it does mean simplicity, and you can buy special "inline" master cylinders for just this type of thing(and fiddle brakes). The problem i see with it is that in order to do this correctly i need to either do one of the following. the stock handbrake was applied, not left off. and before you say, i can and would still use the origional handbrake too, just to make sure that if it does run off. One which is guaranteed to work properly, and one that will make it legal. my thoughts are, do i have a crappy handbrake that i have to keep fixing to make it hold the vehicle, or do i have 2 systems, the linkage is well out and i always have problems with it and alignment. I can sort my handbrake to pass the MOT, but it never lasts. hydraulic handbrake fitted to the rear drums? If you retain the origional handbrake setup, is it illegal to have a second, better handbrake too? i.e. These seem popular with my generation of "drift kings" (or tw*ts as i like to call them)īUT can it be used legally? used for a sensible application?īasically im fed up of having to turn the engine off in order to ensure it doesent run away on steep slopes or lesser ones when towing So, i know full well that to have a hydraulic handbrake system is illegal. ![]()
