Hand brake cable for a 1934 Ford

deleted

 

I think you did a damned nice job!
So there

 

Since you said you like to look a pix to see what others have done, I used a Mustg II/Pinto floor mounted hand brake with Lokar Universal "Cut to Fit" twin cables. Quick and easy. Cables are hung with insulated straps/loops for the bends on their way to the backing plates.
BTW. Nice job on your system.

 

Thanks crminal. Thanks cerberus, actually I have the same Lokar setup in my avatar. I was trying to go for something less streetrodish, on this car, and plan to round the corners on the clevis to make it look less like a billet part.

 

Nicely done!!

 

wow, quite the setup! looks *****in jeff! i need to stop by and see your progress on this thing

 

Thanks man, yeah progress is slow...

 

Good job! Gives me some ideas re pieces needed and routing for mine......

 

Have you tried the system yet? Does it give enough pull to hold the brakes tight, and the car won't roll?

 

You can use the self adjusters from a 71-76 Chevy Big station wagon and the shoes too. I did.

 

Thanks.

Not yet. I just tried to get full motion of the hand brake lever with the design. You get a lot of leverage with the long hand brake versus what you would get from a floor mounted pull up hand brake.

Cool thanks.
