I've been running these prototype parking brakes on my black six since last year (on 2 cars @ last years WCC) and they haven't missed a beat. Hill holding on a 15 deg grade is better than my OE 9146 e-brakes that these replace.
Legal dept. just advised me that we can start showing these, as things are moving forward over there (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) BTW, the P crest is for fashion statement only-the production items will be black, or have the msds logo on it. The system is purely bolt on, no welding, machining, and uses off the shelf Wilwood brand spot disc floating calipers. The OE cable gets an "Extended" rod in the kit, and the brake and rod have lots of adjustment capability . The first p-brake kits that we build, will be for the 911 style ventillated rotor used with the Boxster 4 piston caliper (as shown here). We use 986 (Rich Johnson style) adapter blocks for the rear Boxster brake upgrade. These blocks give a solid locating point for the rod in our kit. My black car stops excellent with Boxster brakes all around-- but I know that some customers will want p-brake kits for big reds. That kit will follow inital production of the Boxster 986 style / first kit. Right now we are sorting out all contracters for this product, so no PN or price yet. I'll post updates from time to time on any ETA's for this product. Happy Holidays ! Marty Attached thumbnail(s) |

That fricking Japanese patent system is something else...
They have more types than I can figure out Kankai, Laid open Kankai and on and on. Not sure why a Japanese filing. For one, it's expensive. I have seen Olympus pull an old patent out of their ass that couldn't be seen in searches. It languished for a long time (6 or more years)in the Japanese system and then they pulled it out. I think they did a US filing off of it too. Anyway, it was good for a free 3 day trip to the US Patent Office to search the stacks. We were the 3rd team in and found the proverbial needle in the haystack... Kenwhowritespatentsforaliving.... |
