This will probably be the last post on this subject (I can hear the collective sigh of relief).

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) This is the best thread I have followed in ages....The greater technical content the better.

I reckon this qualifies as classic thread status

On my build I used boxster hubs, brakes and e brake hardware. Pics of the trailing arm fab are here in post 50:

Jim I seem to remember a member on here welded on brackets and ran Wilwood handbrake calipers,these are fairly small units and it looked like a tidy solution.
I liked this as another option and possibly easier than the 911 setup which I have.
I found out to my displeasure and expense the PO had fitted this system without the weld on shoe retainers ,went for a drive to test h/brake and demolished the backplate and both shoe retainers and springs on one side (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) ,used parts for these are hardly cheap but atleast I was able to repair the backing plate but was still fairly pissed off.

Jim - yes, FWIW. Done with a Carrera vented rear set up. I used the Tangerine Racing kit for modifying the arms + handbrake cable routing - worked out nicely and retains the stock cables.

The tangerine kit is the way to go. Weld on a couple little bits and use your stock cables. It’s already developed so you don’t have to experiment.
That being said, if you have a narrow body four, I would stick with stock rears.

You need 911 e-brake parts and whatever rotors fit your calipers of choice.

Is the square bolt pattern on the backing plates the same for all pre-1989 non-turbo 911s?

The late Wes Hildreth did this for a 914 owner named Mike Floyd ( @old914dog ). It did not work out well. Setting the park brake with the rotors hot resulted in the pads sticking to the rotors, and it took a hammer and some pounding to get the park brake to release.

The 911 style park brake is the way to go.
