Hyd handbrake mounting

[Frankae86]

Bit of a strange question...
Where i want to mount my handbrake the pipes are gonna be in the way
But id swear i saw the cylinder mounted upsidedown before, or else i dreamed it
Anyone know if it works or not?

[Jay Rockett]

I cant see why it shouldnt work, like air shouldnt get trapped anywhere once its bled out as normal.. Theres really only one way to find out
but if the cylinder was an issue, and if your transmissoin tunnel is big enough (i know you've modified yours somewhat) then you could try this..

Ya i was sitting in my seat there this evening and was thinking about mounting the cylinder like that but dont think it will work right with my seat.

Like you said i dont see why i shouldnt work, think ill try it alright.
Want my lever touching the steering wheel

I remember seeing this on one or two build threads before

Is this what you mean?

ps. that set up in the DW s15 is cool, could have the cylinder in front of it too that way. if ya get me

[Frankae86]

Yep thats exactly what i mean lad!
Gavin lenihan has a similar setup to Jays pic above.
What do you mean in front? like push the lever

What do you mean in front? like push the lever

No (bear with me on this) if you made up a little bracket on each side of the lever and have the wand pivoting like quarter of the way up along the wand.
So when you pull the top of the hbrake handle the very bottom of it would move forward, and you could have the cylinder infront of it then.
If that makes any sense

[Frankae86]

Yeah i think i know what your on about,
Sounds akward to make though

Some pic's shamelessly stolen off dw





Thats what i was on about, dont think it would be that hard to do.
just a sugestion if you're stuck for space

[Frankae86]

Oh i was thinking of something else.
Wouldnt be gone on his setup
