Ok so the car is kinda switching directions. I need a handbrake, I'm building a tarmac car, but its also gonna compete in Gymkhana competition. After my first one, I have realized the stock cable brake is not gonna cut it for this kinda shit. So who makes a good single mater cylinder handbrake thats competitively priced?

Damn thats

Now just to figure out shipping to the states

Here's the one we're using in #171, just finished our second season on it, still works great. We use a bungee cord as the parking brake, that's how little force it takes to lock up the rear:

Although I think there was a US distributor....but I'm not sure right now.

I built my own and it works great.

Here it is plumbed

One more showing the Bunjee E Brake retention device.
can be found here but is a very large picture http://angryiron.com/Ford-Ranger-Ral...1378medium.jpg

You have to plumb it inline with your rear brakes so I went ahead and added a proportioning valve at the same time.

I was thinking it would be real cheap to build your own;A toyota clutch master from pick and pull would be about $10,a bracket to hold it and a bar with a bicycle hand grip on it and a return spring...
edit:did you use a knife handle?is that for cutting the seat belt in an emergency?

What master cylinder is that?

Angry Iron Off Road · 12-24-2010, 08:38 AM

It is a Datson/Nissan master cylinder I forget the part number I think it was 15.00 or 25.00 new

I used the complete KA-Bar fighting knife, it is dulled and welded into place.

You do not need a return spring.

I think I have more pictures in my facebook album of the build.

blackrider · 12-24-2010, 12:23 PM

How did you cap off the reservoir opening,Welded?

Angry Iron Off Road · 12-25-2010, 05:56 AM

You use the resevior opening for the in coming fluid line. Remove the tank and dill the hole up and tap it for 1/8 pipe install a Pipe to inverted flare adapter. The fluid under normal operation then flows through the handbrake master cylinder like it is not even there. You will want to do a good bench bleed before installing the master cylinder also or otherwise it will take for ever to get a good bleed on your system.

Another option....
Check the Cutting and Hand Brake sections. Drop me a PM and I can prob get you a little better deal if you see something you are interested in.

purecountry · 12-27-2010, 12:32 AM

What size do you reccomnd for the mc bore?

Angry Iron Off Road · 12-27-2010, 12:01 PM

Something like a 5/8's (15.9mm) or a 7/10's (17.8mm) is what you need

Angry Iron Off Road · 12-27-2010, 12:03 PM

I'd build you one for that price. 146.00

I use a CNC in my rallyX car. (Such as PolyPerformance sells) Be careful which you choose. A hydraulic handbrake is a stand-alone unit intended to work with it's own disc or drum system. If you want one in-line with your current brakes, use the staging brake.
