Hydraulic handbrake install?
Hydraulic handbrake install?
Just wondering who's installed an hydraulic handbrake in their fc? Did you make your own kit? or use the ksport universal kit or similar? and how/where did you tie in?
A few guys in the racecar tech/drifting section have done it and have pictures. Search and you'll find them on the only page.
To get you started:

pictures of everything I am describing are on that page.
I've done one setup in a 240, step by step went a little like this:
1. Find another pair of rear calipers from a junked 240
2. Machine a new caliper bracket so you can use 2 calipers, way simpler than it sounds. Use the old one for a partial pattern, if you don't have the tools go to a machine shop and I couldn't imagine it would cost you more than 50 bucks total if you've done the homework.
3. Install the adapter/calipers
4. Run the lines from your Hydraulic handbrake's master cylinder to calipers
5. Fill/bleed the system.
you can also run a priority valve on the one brake line that runs under the car to the rear wheels, this is cheaper/easier but one caveat: I've seen some people throw a fit about them at tech inspections.
