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

Like I said, MOT is not an issue. it's a track car.

Just read up about line lock, it's a good idea. Although I wasn't planning on interfering with the current brake setup. however I could tap into the front calipers so I can do some burnouts along with having a handbrake
