those of you w/ driveline brake

[jayweb]

what kind of cable / end are you using to engage it? something that attaches to the factory cable? post pics if possible. thanks

I can't offer ya a solution, I'm wondering the same thing! Hopefully somebody will post up a good idea!

isn't that a hydraulic line just all the other brakes? i know rockwell pinion brakes are.

im assuming hes referring to the ebrake and it has to be a fully mechanical operating cable at least in texas.

 

[jayweb]

yes the e-brake - I converted to driveline brake and the stock (front half) wont hook up to the caliper. just wondering if any body knew of a simple solution or readily available cable before I booger something up making it myself

 

[obijuan]

do you got a pic of your setup on the caliper? im not familiar with how they operate but can probably figger somethin.

awesome link.....

I'm gonna go with Jesse's kit behind my 205... Looked into building my own a bit, but as of this point, I'll prolly just do the high angle...

You can make up cable easy enough too, if you have the crimper tool.. works got one for me.... Haven't checked into it, but I'm thinking a pretty cool single pulley, mounted down the framerail to get the right angle to the caliper would work pretty well...

I did take a quick peak at Lokar and few others for aftermarket hand-operated handles... some trick, and expensive, stuff out there... But I'll wait to see how my trans tunnel, twinstick, A.Carr and console all work out, to decide on the factory foot or hand operated....

This reminds me, I have a thread I want to start concerning brake systems...

scoobydannn - awesome link, thanks. that's what I was looking for. ryoken - I have the HAD set up - good stuff - if youre putting that much into your rig, you might as well spring for that too. thanks for all the input - blowedupmotor87 - you seeing this?

WOW! That is a good link! Lotsa stuff to look at and brew up ideas! Yeah, I have the HAD set up too, looks like a neat piece! Can't wait to get it all together!
