More brake Questions

Post by Rhett »

I now have rear dissconeect but my hand brake is not good engough :cry: if I put a hydrolic handbrake in a tap it into the rear brake line will it put the front brakes on too, by pushing the fluid back up the line?
Ive never had much to do with brakes so forgive my ignorance ;)

it depends on, amonst other things, if your vehicle has dual circuit hydraulics and whether or not it is split F/R. it would help if you stated what kind of vehicle you're talking about.

a driveshaft handbrake on the back of your transfer would probably be better, completely independent of the other braking system. you could even do it with a hydraulic caliper and a separate pedal.

its a zook. It does have two lines coming off the master if that helps.

I don't have time to build a di\sk brake on the tailshaft and don't realy want it hanging down either ;)

Ive made one of those out of existing handbrake and a trailer master cylinder. I was just hoping to find out if It was going to apply my front brakes if I just put a t piece into the rear brakes

why not put a electric line lock on either the front or rear brakes, so you step on the bracks and lock the fluid into the rear them release the pedal and dig, or just use it to lock out the front brakes and use the peddle in digs
