if you intend to do motorkhana's the hydraulic handbrake setup might come in handly. yeh the only problem that i could see with the R31 handbrake is the "outer" of the cables is too long.

As you say it is just the cables that go to the curved bracket that is the only real problem. Cheers Mark >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/19/05 4:54 pm >>> Mark I have the R31 discs lying beside a 1600 rear end on the garage floor at present. I have the R31 hand brake cables attached to the calipers. I think it looks easiest to simply connect the two R 31 cables together, across the cross member, and use the 1600 front cable and lever set up, basically the same setup as the 1600 drum rears. This idea just needs the cable outer casing locating lugs to be relocated on the trailing arms to locate the ends of the R31 outer cables, and the cables joined at the right length after feeding through the the 1600 cable end bracket - the curved shaped braket that shares the pull evenly between each rear brake. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Overend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 4:25 PM Subject: RE: Hydraulic Handbrake > Gday Jeff, > Hilux is worth looking into by the sounds of it.What > did you do for the handbrake cable for the r31 discs.
