Fitment of Hydraulic Handbrake

[tguillemin]

Hello All

I\'m interested in fitting a hydraulic handbrake, just wondered if anyone else has fitted one before, for some advice and/or tips

Best Regards

If you follow this link you will find a kit,

Straight forward plumbing job but the downside is the car won\'t pass a legit MOT as you will not have a seperate brake system for the handbrake so you would need "help"

Hope this helps

Check out driftworks as well, or ask FlikstRR who drifts FCs and has one fitted

The issue is HOW/WHERE to mount it on an FC. Thats the trick.
In an ideal world its a gearbox off job as the trans tunnel is very thin and you\'d full thru the metal before long without using reinforcing plates.

Yer im imterested in one also be interetsting to see who has done it out there may be worth checking out some of the USA forums.

I\'ve got a friend at work, who knows Matt House of mph customs who drifts fd\'s. Will talk to him later and update

[tguillemin]

Right, apparently, it is just a simple plumbing job, It sounds simple but any ideas on how to do it?
I\'m too confused

Well i have gone & brought myself a hydro & have just fitted it in the fc, hopefully will plumb it in tomor & let you guys know the out come.... so far its been pretty simple stuff (didn\'t even use a power tool to install the handbrake) also will get some pics up soon.

Right have now installed my hydro just gotta wait for my mate to come round so we can have the joy of bleeding it heres some pictures, was fairly easy to instal & the only power tool i used was a drill to make a hole to feed the brake line tfor the rear calipers.
