Description

Universal Hydraulic Handbrake Adjustable from Vertical to Horizontal

This universal hydraulic handbrake, adjustable from vertical to horizontal, lets you decide the angle of the lever yourself: upright, inclined at 45 degrees or flat. This way it fits in virtually any car and suits any seating position. The handbrake is universal and mainly intended for drifting and rallying.

You can include it in the existing brake system to lock the rear wheels, or use it to build a separate, additional brake circuit. For the latter, separate adapters are available that make fitting easier.

Installation and delivery

First choose the position you want for the lever, then secure the handbrake via the existing mounting holes. Decide beforehand whether you will include it in the existing brake circuit or build a separate circuit with extra rear brake calipers. After connecting the lines, the system must be bled carefully and checked for leaks.

Working on the brake system requires experience. If in doubt, have a specialist do the fitting and test the operation on a closed site first.

One handbrake, three lever positions: it adapts to your car, not the other way round.

Why choose a universal hydraulic handbrake adjustable from vertical to horizontal?

Because every car and every driver is different. In one car the handbrake works best upright next to the seat, in another lying flat on the tunnel. With this handbrake you do not have to worry about that: you set the lever the way that feels most natural to you. The OBP cylinder and the TIG-welded steel make it suitable for intensive use.
