MAYBE a solution for handbrake with cayene 4pot rear caliper?

[Majorcina]

I was thinking what to do about my handbrake with cayene rears
And it hit me,what about making a hydro handbrake? Puting cylinder and keeping the stock looking handbrake,and then make a "T" peace on left and right cayene caliper so handbrake can work without aditional caliper's
It this posible?Or i am just dreaming

[mike74]

Possible, probably but over here at least, illegal. We need a mechanical handbrake to pass the MOT

[Majorcina]

Here we only need them to work,its all legal

[popdemonic]

My froend has done on rear boxster but it seems the e brake can be working with only one side caliper.

Pretty sure that's not the case here now. What with all the e-brakes they had to do something.

I'm sure a current tester can confirm though...

Not according to the MOT information;

An electronic parking brake (EPB), although applied electronically, must be maintained in operation by direct mechanical means. This mechanism may be within the brake caliper or within the motor/gear assembly, so cannot be readily seen.

Hydraulic parking brakes as a sole means of operation are not acceptable on vehicles first used on or after 1 January 1968. However, they may be used to assist the application or release of a mechanical brake.

Can we skip the legal terms for a moment, i belive the is doable,just not sure will there be enouf presure for handbrake like this?

You can fit a hydraulic handbrake to operate the rear brake calipers.

Does your car have a single brake line going back to a T to either caliper?

[Majorcina]

1 line per caliper,no T peaces.

try searching on some of the drifting forums, they all use hydraulic handbrakes (hydro)

[orignalS60]

Hydraulic will work and is relatively easy to do but you guys will not pass MOT with it or in the US states that do a thorough inspection probably will not pass the car either. Check out Edigreg on the project pad.com and motorgeek. He did the hydro hand brake on his urs4 with boxster S 4 pot rear calipers. The same ones I'll be using. I also don't like the idea for a hydro hand brake for when parking on a steep hill or mountain because as you know if pressure bleeds off you can say bye to your vehicle.

Also I think HAP with the green monster is using a hydraulic parking brake.

[V6quattro]

I also use a hydraulic handbrake and it is legal here to

What's wrong with leaving the car in gear and use the parking brake at the same time?

[Error404]

TBH I hardly use my handbrake, I mostly just leave the car in gear as the brakes are normally pretty hot. But in the UK you need a mechanical handbrake to be road legal
