i'm getting ready to order a batch of parts that i need to put in my Mach before i paint it. So far I really only need the Gas tank and a Steering Wheel(i have to steer it somehow). But i need to put in a parking brake since it will be a manual tranny. i guess the old one was removed when the owner stripped it before selling it. I got down and looked at the brakes (disc) and i couldnt really see where the brake cable would go and got confused. It has to work with a parking brake right? And does anyone know where i could find a guide on how to install it? thanks.

 

i have a 5 speed celica and i always forget the parking break but just leave it in gear when i turn it off and it dosent roll.

id definitely put one in though, you'd be crazy not to.

 

See if this article helps Billy. http://www.classicperform.com/tech_a...rakes-tech.htm

 

it helped a little. now i'm just more confident that a parking brake will work. i'll take the parking brake out of my parts car tomorrow and the cable and see if its usable/fixable. doesnt really work for the moment.

 

Parking Brake

 

Just throw a cinder block on the brake pedal. Also, install this bad boy for your steering wheel. http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thum...den_rudder.jpg

 

Thanks, man. That was driving me nuts!

 

haha my junior year english teacher was obssessed with people using break and brake wrong and meet and meat....he kicked one kid out of class because of it once. this is why i didnt wanna say anything.

 

We all knew what he meant. Rednecks don't always have school learnin'.

 

sorry, wasnt really awake when i typed it. and yes, we rednecks don't really care if we spell somthing wrong.lol. and then i just never really thought about it. i do it alot. just type and go. you see, thats why one should always check their work.
