hydraulic handbrakes......good read for those into motorsport! ;)

[IN 05 NT]

with the buton, the few motorkahana's ive done they get a 5c piece or $2 coin and a bit of race tape, and tape the coin over the button so it makes it a fly on fly off quick brake,

i'll probably go up the the brake shop round the corner on the way home from work tomoz and see what they say, about doing the piping, as i dont want to buy a tube bender and flaring tool,

If you actually unscrew the button, it disables the spring loaded ratchet mechanism to achieve the same effect

I've just rigged one up on my car, the vertical type. There is an easy piping option. It involves bypassing the original brake bias, under the master cylinder.

From the master cylinder rear line out to your brake valve in the cabin, through to the in on the handbrake actuator.

From the handrake all the way back to the original line out after the original brake bias.

Saves lots of cutting or original steel brake lines.

Plus you can leave your original mechanical handbrake intact




Heres my system before it was fitted, with a welded bracket to the transmission tunnel

I may have a set up that I can part with for some dollars. It uses a clutch master cylinder from another TA-22 shell. I have made up the brackets and re-enforced the OEM TA-22 handbrake bracket. Looks very much like Rinmax's set up.

I used it with good effect for motorkhanas for years. I do not need it now as I am building a TA-22 for road racing.

I'll dig it out and see if I can get a good picture of it. So if I post a picture it means it is available.

How did you do the fluid pass through? Did you simply remove the cup and put an adaptor on there to the 10mm flared fittings?

[Rodger]

Had my fitter/mechinist dad turn up the adaptor. Bit of a stack of parts but did the job. Tonight I'll get the picture up here.

Here is my version of a hydraulic handbrake.

I wont be using one for the race car. My plan is to use a simple on-off valve with a sprung lever, so I can either lock on the rears, for a sloping start line or lock off the rears for burnouts.

It needs a good clean up and a kit but would be for sale if any interest.

Ahh, i understand now. I forgot that the fluid flows through anyway under no-compressive force.

nice set up,

pmed!

bring up the dead....

so what you do is hook up the rear brake line (from master cyl) to the hydralic handbrake...then to the rear wheels....?

and fluid flows through it just like a normal brake line? when applying brakes

cheers

[Rodger]

Yes indeed.

It is that simple. From the rear brake MC to the reservour on the handbrake cylinder then from the outlet port to the rear brakes.

The hardest part is making up the fluid lines. If I were to do this again I'd make up a set of metal lines, all bent up nicely with the M10 fittings to screw directly into the cylinder and come through new holes in the transmission tunnel.
