Does anyone know where i can purchase a hydrolic handbrake kit to replace the original HB .
Much easyer to have just the one line headin out back
Im having trouble mounting the original HB over my new crossmembers
and in near future i want to run patrol diffs.
Im thinking these units are used in rally cars.

I set twin disc calipers on my rear end one set does normal stopping and the other does the hand brake function. i adapted a clutch master cylinder to my hand brake lever and presto a hand brake that always works. keep in mind that this is not road legal as your park brake must should be mechanical mechanism.

shame that the hydrolic system is not legal for holding the vehical but ok to stop the :bad-words: thing
your system sounds reliable

You can get the ones for a rally car from Revolution race gear, it joins into the brake line!!
