DIY: Hydraulic Handbrake Install

[FLG]

Works great!

Also the little valve i added pre input works just as intended for burnouts lol

Thanks again

I made my own setup with a wilwood master so that the lever comes up through the cigarette lighter hole (I like having a full interior) Tons of fun though!



One important thing for anyone using the wilwood master, make sure you order some fittings with it!! wilwood uses an obscure 7/16-20 fitting that no store nearby had.... I had to wait another week before i could put it in :(

I'd like to see you properly suggest some rubber isolation grommets where the hardlines pass through the body to the exterior/underside of the car, but otherwise, great writeup!

some vacuum line or 3/16 fuel hose cut down the side,peeled over the hard line. that would definitely do the trick.

hmm...I think I have to bookmark this thread..........

Why did you use a double flare, instead of keeping with the rest of your braking system that uses a bubble flare?

[FLG]

Same lol. I like having ABS though. Good write up OP.

Could keep your abs...only time it would kick in is if your on the brakes while on the handbrake.

Ill be doing this myself this week, id def use some grommets on the floor. Also maybe some clips to hold the lines from rattling around.

I also purchased this

Why? Basically for kick ass burnouts when required ;)

Tapped into the rear line, turn on valve, now any brakes applied will be going to just the front calipers and i could do some hooning wihout cooking my rear pads.

I totally want a hydraulic handbrake for no reason...

With this tied into your main line, what seemed to be the easiest way to bleed the system?

Doooaaahhhh

Nevermind...........

Yes pretty much. When on the foot brake, the hand brake is pressurized.

Got ya, not three or 4 weeks ago I was talking about his with my buddies but they didn't think it would work.

As long as it doesn't effect my brake bias with the pedals this will be in my car!! Great write up man!

This might be a silly question, but does the MC on the hand brake stay open so that the foot pedal can still control the rear brakes as well? Hopefully that makes sense.
