Universal Hydraulic Handbrake with Removable Lever, without Tank

This hydraulic handbrake with removable lever is a universal drift handbrake whose lever you unscrew when you do not need it. It locks the rear wheels via the brake system and is intended for motorsport cars in drifting and rally. This version has no tank of its own: the OBP master cylinder is fed via a separate connection.

With an upright handbrake you throw the car sideways on command or turn it around on a tight rally stage. Because the lever unscrews, it is not in the way all the time when you also use the car off the track or when you get in and out with a bucket seat and harnesses.

Installation and delivery

The hydraulic handbrake with removable lever is mainly used to build an independent, additional brake circuit, for example with a second set of rear brake calipers. Adapters for extra brake calipers are sold separately. Because this version has no tank, you connect the 7/16 inch UNF inlet to a separate reservoir.

Fix the base firmly in a stiff location in the tunnel or on your own bracket, because a handbrake that flexes brakes poorly. Use brake lines and fittings that match the UNF thread, bleed the circuit thoroughly and test it first on a closed site. After the first session, check that all fittings are still dry.

Besides this hydraulic handbrake with removable lever, you will find more hydraulic handbrakes in our shop. If you are looking for extra rear brake calipers for an E36, our adapters for extra brake calipers go well with this handbrake.

Lever on and you have a fully fledged drift handbrake, lever off and it is no longer in the way.

Why choose this hydraulic handbrake with removable lever?

A fixed long lever is exactly what you want on the track, but off the track it often gets in the way. This handbrake combines a sturdy steel base and an OBP cylinder with a lever that you can unscrew. Without a built-in tank you choose where the reservoir goes yourself, which is handy when space in the tunnel is tight.
