Hydraulic E-brake DIY
here's a DIY on hydraulic e brake set up. im pretty much following JasonZ-YA's DIY without pics. https://my350z.com/forum/6587128-post34.html
For now, i'll just post up pics as i go, and throw in some descriptions latteerr.
Depends on whether you want to use your ABS or not, your option varies.
I chose to keep the ABS so this is what i got.
-CNC ebrake handle and bracket. CNC400A (i think)
- WILWOOD SINGLE REMOTE RESERVOIR MASTER CYLINDER - P/N 260-10371
-Three 3/16" OD. 10mm x 1.0 brake lines
-Three CNC 10mm all the way around Tee fitting
-A pack of five. 3/16" bubble flare fittings from autozone
-mini line cutter from Harbor Freight $4.99
-Hydraulic double flare tool (i was lucky enough to borrow from someone. Two out of four OEM lines are steel. i was told that it's really hard to make flares on steel lines with non hydraulic flaring tool)
-Teflon tape
- 1" by x length by 1/4" thickness flat metal bar for the mounts for ebrake
-Epoxy to make hold custom brackets to hold brake lines here and there
I purchased most of stuff from Mackenzie's performance, autozone, Summit Racing and Harbor Freight.
This is what i have so far. I decided to go with remote mount and mount the reservoir in the center console.
i cut that crap out that was never used.
Question: what is the flare style on brake hardlines? bubble, inverted, or double bubble?
