September 20, 201214 yr comment_627903 Hey all Wondering if anyone has done any hydraulic handbrake set ups. Main reason i ask is to see how it performs with drums on the rear. I can hook it up all good just don't know if its going to be worth it. Report
September 21, 201214 yr comment_627959 They work fine ,just make sure the wheel cylinders and linings are good condition. They are illegal in a road car but youre not going to do that are you. Report
September 21, 201214 yr comment_627961 They're not necessarily illegal if you have the factory cable handbrake as well. If you remove that then they're illegal. Mate got pulled over and all they wanted to see was that the original one still worked. Report

Both new so should be sweet then. yeah i was going to try to have it sitting next to the standard one as long as it will be comfortable to use. If not ill just use hydro... not going to drive it too much on the road anyway. Cheers for comments :thumbsup: Report
