Hey guys just want to know and see pics of hydraulic handbrake line installs on RX7 FC's.
I was thinking of flaring the brake line to the rear calipers from the master cylinder on the way to the rear and go up to the hanbrake and run it to the rear calipers from that?
will that work?
or what way do you go????
thanks guys

The handbrake is cable operated.

I'm not sure why you would want to have an emergency brake that shares the same fluid as the main braking system.

That would defeat the purpose.

You can run the brake master in series with the stock rear brake line.

None of the solenoid activated line-locks I looked at were rated for continuous duty- such as a parking brake- only the very short term use that drag racers require.
Unless you are replacing the stock rear calipers with ones without parking brake capability, why would you do this?

What?

My statement still stands though the use of a propriatary(?) valve is the correct way to do it. It's basically a check valve that allows you to pressurize the brake lines without pushing fluid back to the master in the engine bay. The valve is mounted in series with the rear brake and the ebrake T's into it. It' the proper way to do it so you aren't pushing fluid through the second master but you need to run a reservoir on the ebrakes master.

Have you a pick/link of such a setup?

I have a feeling this isn't for a "parking brake" but more for MaD TyTe DoRiFtO AcTiOn!!

You can usually find them in drift, rally and gymkhana cars where you need to pitch the car. This is not for grip driving because it will just make you slower. There is a thread I can link, I tried to find it last night but couldn't find it. I'll look again after I ger out of work.
