here is a simply way to make a parking brake. buy the willwood spot caliber at 57 bucks, then a push pull cable from mcmaster carr for 45 bucks. then just fab a plate that comes off of the diff cover to mount the caliber to. then a simple AL rotor made from 1/8 inch AL, double thickness at the caliber location. a few holes and a few screws ( 10 to 15 ) to hold the 2 layers together. the last thing would be longer roll pins and cv bolts ( 1/8 inch longer ) to sandwich the rotor between the cv and tranny out put flange.then just hook the cable to the stock brake handle.
now why put it on the tranny end, simple, why add 2 to 3 lbs of unsprung weight, and less trouble when working on the rear axles. i bet this could be made in 3 hours for 150 bucks or less now this would not hold up as an emergency brake but it would be a fine parking brake |
