Looking at the idea of putting individual brakes on an off road machine , ie not road legal . Running thro ideas . guys just put another master cyl in line but I would like push button .
There was a post a while back about some traction control guys were developing and selling . They were using some sort of truck boosters for the individual brakes . Does anyone know what they are or what they were off . Something like that could work for me .

Cheers

Chris

Use rear discs with an internal hand brake and set them up independently to each other on two levers.

i used to have these on an old trial machine, that i owned in NZ.

we used clutch slave cylinders, in reverse.
IE in the "bleader" and out of the "in" hole. then set up the handles on the push-rods.
plumbed this in to the existing break lines after the T. with individual lines to each wheel.
you'll need a stop on the handles so that tthe push-rods dont come out, when you jump on the breaks.

this mod didn't affect the normal break operation. and woked a treat when you wanted to do donuts.
