Drive shaft mounted E-brake

Edited: 4/29/2006 7:15:04 PM by krazeryn

Has anyone done a driveshaft mounted e-brake? I want to put one on my Mazda B2200 because I put an Rx7 rear end in it. So, has anyone bought a kit and modified it to work on a minitruck? if so what kit? Here is Larry Echols Isuzu with one of these setups:


Does anyone know how I could get a hold of Larry?

THat caliper honestly looks like a go kart brake caliper mounted on a disc on the driveline. Looks simple enough to be made for around $50.

You dug up an old picture. Reso 2000 maybe ? That disc is a 7" hayes mountain bike disc, that has had the center machined out, and mounting ears welded on to fit the driveshaft bolts. The caliper is from Total Performace. It is what they use in their street rod drive line disc brake kits. The caliper was machined down in the middle (they are two piece and bolt together) to fit the thinner disc, and to allow the mounting bracket to fit in the middle also. And the cable is a morse cable from art morrison. And it connects to the stock linkage under the truck. It costs a little more than $50 to do this setup, if you can do the fab work yourself. But if you have to pay for all the machine work, plan on a couple hundred $$$. The first RX7 rear swap I did, was on a toyota tacoma, and I used the stock RX7 rear e brake cables, and hooked them up to the stock toyota linkage under the truck. And it worked nicely.Here is another pic of my rear set up that might help you...

Thanks for the help! I knew I had see this done on your truck a long time ago so I just did a google search and came up with that pic, not sure what show that is at :S

So, how were you able to connect the 2 different e-brake cables?

I imagine you could replace your stock cable with a new single cable to get it to work and have correct length and all.

damn thats awesome

Thats a pretty trick setup
