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) |

QUOTE When the brake is on, the shoes are held outward by the spreaders, and they don't touch the stop block. Not sure if that's accurate. I believe they pivot off it. Make a circle in front of yourself with your thumbs and forefingers. The spreader would be between your forefingers. Open the circle pivoting off your thumbs. The pivot offers stability for the shoes and prevents them from simply being ripped off by the wheel if engaged while moving. Much needed. I believe the stop block is in the wrong position above. It should be below and the spreaders should be above. |

The stop block is on the end with the spreaders.... |
