The new generation ones dont have a locking mechanism as its totally useless. If you apply the h/b when the fluid is warm, even with the locking mechanism on when it cools down the car will roll away.

With no mechanism it reminds you to use either your second cable operated one or to leave it in gear

Also doubles as a very effective alarm clock eh Rich

Collected my new brake pads and had a delivery from Rally Design so today we cracked on and sorted the brakes out. 'We' being myself and my ever trusty bitch, Trev

I've gone for EBC Red stuff pads for the rear calipers as hopefully they wont be doing as much work as the DS2500s in the front once the reducing valve is set up along with the balance bar to fine tune it

Made up the new lines required for the hydraulic handbrake and had to do a bit of grinding to get it to fit to the tunnel

Few pictures of it fitted in the car







Stripped and rebuilt the pedal box assembly with a couple of washers on the balance bar to prevent it 'jamming' up.



There is a good link on Rally Designs website on how to set the balance bar up.

http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/balancebar.php


Hopefully this will improve the brakes from the previous woolly feel they had

Goit some new fluid ready to bleed them tomorrow
