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) |

I actually looked at the 924/944 solution. The mount for the cable is integral with the backing plate, and to use that backing plate would require way more modification than I am willing to do. Plus it puts the calipers behind the trailing arms, and they then hit the shock mount bolt.
The 944 shoes will fit the 911 backing plates. If someone made a mount to hold the expander and the end of the cable, it would work. But you are still left with custom cables. |

If someone made a mount to hold the expander and the end of the cable, it would work. But you are still left with custom cables. Easy deal is to use the stock 914 cable terminating where it normally does. Pull the inner cable out and put in a bus cable (longer) . Now run this cable back to a small pulley (sheeve for you mariners) to change direction right in back of the pull point for the 944/928 spreader which should be a 6 oclock when using the 911 backing plate. Crimp one of these suckers on to the end of the cable http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/ms20667.php. The most challenging fab would be welding a bolt on for the pulley. I'll post a pict when I'm done. |
