Re: Wilwood rear calipers/with rear e-brake that works

[XXSpArCoXx@aol.com]

    It wouldn't be that hard to get a rear caliper from willwood. Once you 
make a bracket for it to work with and decide if you want to keep your stock 
rotor size or not making it have a rear e-brake is a snap. Or you can use the 
BremSport rear big brake conversion, Demon Tweeks has it. For the e-brake you 
have two options.

    One you call up any race shop, True choice, Racers wholesale, Driving 
Impressions ECT. Then you ask for one medium or two small master cylinders 
and there reservoir tanks. Then you buy a lot of alum brake line and end 
fittings and two "t" fittings. I hope you can see where this is going. If 
not, well basically you mount the two or one aster cyl to the floor behind 
the e-brake lever with a link that would make the lever actuate the master 
cylinders. Then you need to run your new alum brake lines to the rear of the 
car and plum them with the "T" fittings into the rear brake lines. Now you 
have the option to keep all the ratchets on your lever or just keep one. Why 
you ask? Side ways in turns that why. With the first few ratchets gone you 
can have a drifting lever and when you pull all the way up to the last few 
ratchets and e-brake.

    Your second option is to call Demon tweaks again and get there racing 
catalog and get there racing e-brake lever. You have two options with this. 
the cheap one or the pricey one or the cheap one. I like the cheap one its 
powder coated black, the expensive one is alum anodized blue.  Well, this 
lever is a nice lever base and small master cylinder all in one. It comes 
with all the tube and fitting you need to make it work. Then you plum it into 
your rear brake system. This lever is really ment to get you side ways in the 
turns but it has a locking mech all the way at the top. Kind of like a lever 
within the lever to make it lock and unlock.

Carefull with only having the last two ratchets on the stock lever. I ended 
up locking the lever around a turn yesterday on some dirt back roads and 
scared myself and the person in their driveway I stopped in front of cause I 
couldn't unlock my lever fast enough to straighten out so I just let the car 
slide side ways to a stop, since no one was on the road. I just ended up 
stopping in front of a private road/Driveway and surprising the hell out of 
the lady in her navigator who was checking her mail box. I think I should 
send her a Holiday greeting card or something. Lesson learned. Don't play 
with your working e-brake once you get it working again. Or just practice 
using your e-brake before going out on the street if you haven't had a 
working e-brake for 3 years.

OK I'm off for a drive.
Hope I was able to help.
