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'm totally aware of how the backing plate is on a 944 and I'm not using or trying to use it I'm using a 911 backing plate. I don't understand what difference which backing plate you use. When I was looking into this idea if it would work I checked the shoe size, position, and the gap between the shoes where the spreader goes to see if they were the same as the 911 and they were. The only difference in the shoes are the pins for the 911 spreaders and the holes for the retaining springs that holds them to the backing plate. The 911 has a hole and the 924/944 has a slot.
If you want to use the 911 shoes you have to remove the pins and grind a notch for the spreaders. If you want to use the 924/944 shoes all you have to do is to drill a hole where the slots are for the spring retainers. The shoe anchor will have rear support for the spreaders and be welded to the trailing arms. I know your a big fan of cables which is fine. Just looking at another alternative |
