Custom hydraulic E-Brake, what caliper?
Discussion
Hi everyone,
I've set up a custom brake system on my Toyota, front and rear brakes are both Front calipers so they have no built in handbrake system.
I want to use motor bike sized calipers that sit on the rear or front discs, running on a seperate hydraulic system to work as the handbrake. However I'm having trouble finding a caliper wide enough to fit over 24mm wide discs, any ideas anyone?
(Before anyone mentions it, Mot is not an issue and I do not need a cable handbrake)!
Thanks

If it's a track car do you really need a handbrake? I never bother with mine.
I assumed maybe OP was a drifter or maybe autotests, rallycross etc therefore might need a handbrake? Although now he's said he'd put a line lock on the front I'm at a loss... as you say a handbrake isn't much use on a circuit car.Gassing Station | Suspension, Brakes & Tyres | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
