Ultra-light Hydraulic Drift Handbrake

This ultra-light hydraulic drift handbrake is a universal lever of black anodised aluminium, complete with master cylinder. Including the cylinder, it weighs only 1280 grams. You connect it to the brake system to lock the rear wheels, exactly what you need to initiate a drift or pull a car round a tight corner.

It is mainly intended for motorsport cars: drift, rally and club sport. The lever runs on a bearing, so it moves smoothly and directly.

Installation and delivery

The handbrake has mounting holes in the base. Mount it on a rigid plate on the centre tunnel, so that it does not flex when you pull hard on it. You then include it in the brake system. The most common set-up is a separate, additional brake circuit with its own rear calipers. Separate adapters for such a second caliper make that set-up a lot easier.

To connect it, you need line fittings with 3/8″ UNF and 7/16″ UNF thread. These are not included with the handbrake. Bleed the system thoroughly after connecting it and test it on a closed-off site first. If in doubt, always leave brake work to an experienced mechanic.

You will find base plates, adapters and other handbrakes in the hydraulic handbrake category. A sturdy base for this handbrake is, for example, the mounting plate for the driver’s side.

Light, on a bearing and 44 cm long: a handbrake that does exactly what your hand asks.

Why choose this hydraulic drift handbrake?

A good hydraulic drift handbrake should feel light and respond directly. The pivot point on a bearing provides smooth, direct operation. The aluminium keeps the weight low, and with a height of 44 cm you have enough leverage to lock the rear wheels with little force.

Frequently asked questions

Is the master cylinder included?

Yes. The hydraulic drift handbrake comes with an OBP 0.625″ master cylinder. The stated weight of 1280 g includes this cylinder.

Which line connections do I need?

Fittings with 3/8″ UNF and 7/16″ UNF thread. These are not included.

Does this handbrake fit any car?

This hydraulic drift handbrake is universal and has mounting holes in the base. You do need a solid base, such as a base plate on the tunnel.

Is this handbrake also suitable for the public road?

It is mainly intended for motorsport cars. Whether an extra handbrake is allowed on the road depends on the set-up and the inspection rules in your country.

How tall is the lever?

44 cm, measured from the base.

Can I build a separate brake circuit with it?

Yes, that is exactly what it is intended for. With extra rear calipers and the matching adapters, the handbrake works independently of your footbrake.
