and if someone can actually explain how they work as well that would be lovely :)
its just a master cylinder with a handle on it, inserted on to the main brake line for the back brakes.
granted you will require one that creates the correct pressure in the brake line.
any of the traders here should be fit to get ya one or there might be 1 or 2 in the for sale section...and any mechanic will be able to fit it. (if your mechanic cant fit one then stop usin him....lol)
but before you do all that put on a good set of brake pads like yellow stuff they will deffo lock up the wheels at any speed with a cable handbrake, plus if your brake pads are shit then a hydro aint gonna help you.....
good pads and tighten handbrake cable first then the hydro...:cool:
Aaaaaah cheers man, il sort out some pads first so, tighten her up an see how it goes
Check your rear calipers arent siezed, and same with handbrake cables first.
Justjap supply and fit them :D
x2, get on their hydro and pads fitted deal!
x3 just jap wand and pads deal is great value and get fitted with proper bracket
Cable handbrake will always fail ya, like it will work for wee while after tightening but after few good thugs back to square 1 normally.. hydro only way forward lad
Sound lads
