hydr- h/brake ------
firstly why??????
so lets procceed---------lol
your hanbrake needs to be cable for mot-no exceptions sorry--------
and old trick on early rally cars was to drill through the pads and put a metal pin in so you moved the pads and not the caliper ()both sides!!!)-lol
hydro!/h/brake-----
basically brakes need spliTting front and back-twin system yeah!!-?
that sorted you need the pipes in the car up to a brake cylinder and your handbrake adapting for a push rod so when you list the handbarke you pressurise the system into the system needs to go the bias valve OR as i preffer! A BALANCE BAR!!!--- go to burtons power products and you will find everything you need and diagrams etc -ALSO ARE YOU THINKING FLY OFF!!!!!!!!------BIT MEAN FOR A ROAD CAR !!!! HOPE YOU KNOW HOW YOUR USING IT!! BIT LIKE LEFT FOOT BRAKING GET IT WRONG AND WHOW!!!!

No. Your handbrake must be on an independant system from your foot brake. It does not have to have a cable although most do.



You could do this but it would be a lot of hassle for a road car.
