Hydralic handbrake

[Midnight]

New compbrake handbrake just fitted to ps13,from ears motorsport.

Mechanic fitted it and has done many before,cant get hod of him till morning.

Problem:Pressure is not great unless brake pedal is pressureised then it is serious,but main problem is brakes locked up solid when i was testing them,released the presure by losening rear bleed nipple.

Any reaons for this,could it be the wrong .625 cylender i have.

Pedal pressure is perfect.

there seems to be a problem with some lads hydro handbrakes doing that as there not bled right.think a few lads on driftworks had the same problem...

It happened me on the first one I fitted(on my own car)

I assumed that the rear outlet on the handbrake cylinder went to the rear and the front for the front and I got the same symptoms you describe, It wouldn't bleed properly and when I pressed the foot brake the rear brakes locked on.

Swapped the pipes around and spot on from then on...
