Hydrolic handbrake

[REBEL GT TURBO]

1st question how/where do I plumb it inn?

2nd question I've bought one with a locking mechanism so can I do away with the standard cable item?

Thanks.

You won't pass a MOT with one though.

I thought that! Can't understand why when the hydrolic one locks! Stupid MOT rubbish!

Not really stupid, if you apply the handbrake when the fluid is warm the car will sit still.
But as it cools it will roll away as the handbrake releases. You need a mechanical one too, you can get a separate small caliper to run a cable and use another for hydraulic but unsure why you want to really unless your doing rallies.

Just always fancied one! Nothing like doing handbrake turns! :cool:
Fly into a tight corner drop down turn inn pull up and then boot it out again! Love it! But the cable handbrake is s**t!

correctly adjusted it can lock, mine does but takes a fair bit of effort and warm the pads up a little(stupid greenstuff useless till there warm)

There is a pic of it on my project thread! I take it there is one line feeding the rear compensator and I just tap into the line before the brake compensator?!

the rear compensator has a line for each side. the oe handbrake can stay in situ for parking and mot, and use the line lock for what you need. you can just do away with the compensator and the handbrake will work miles better ;)
