Hydraulic Handbrake (Reverse), Removable, Solid Base

This hydraulic handbrake in an inverted layout, also known as a reverse hydraulic handbrake, locks the rear wheels via a connection to the brake system. It is the inverted version with a screw-off lever and a steel base with solid side plates. It is universal and intended mainly for drift and rally cars.

With a hydraulic handbrake you lock the rear axle in a fraction of a second to initiate or correct a drift. The removable lever is handy when you want to transport the car or need more room when getting in or working on the car.

Installation and delivery

You bolt the reverse hydraulic handbrake to the floor or the centre tunnel through the mounting holes in the base, in a solid spot that is easy to reach. You then include it in a separate, additional brake circuit to the rear brakes. Special adapters that make installation easier are available separately.

Leave connecting the brake lines to someone with experience. Bleed the system completely and check that both the handbrake and the foot brake work before you go on track. A solid mounting surface is important: the lever transfers considerable forces to the floor.

You can compare all models in our hydraulic handbrakes category. If you are looking for the lighter inverted version with the honeycomb base, take a look at the reverse handbrake with honeycomb base.

For a drifter, a handbrake that locks the rear axle instantly is the difference between initiating a drift and hoping it works.

Why choose this reverse hydraulic handbrake?

For anyone looking for a reliable, universal handbrake for an additional brake circuit, this is a sound basis.
