Anyone have Rear Disc with Parking Brake?

[Gensaiken]

Wondering if any one out there has done the rear disc conversion of their 510 and set up the cable parking brake?

 

I'm using the maxima calipers and 200SX discs. If anyone can let me know how they set it up I'd really appreciate it.

I am curious too. right now- "ye olde anchor" works best.

May not work you but here is how I did it. Each pic has a description.

Very cool, sort of ghetto but gives me ideas. Did you just use the stock 510 stuff? and did you change to a hand brake on the tunnel?

Cables are the original 510 but shortened. You have to get the barrel pieces for the Maxima calipers because the 510 cables have the wrong style ends and will not work in the caliper. I cutthe old ends off, slid the Maxima baarrels onto the cable, and then I used end crimp pieces from Ace hardware (crimped in my vice). Brackets are from the calipers themselves. The nice thing about using the all thread is that I was able to attach the ST Swaybar brackets to bottom of them.

 

Still using the stock handle inside. Tunnel mounted e-brake is going to be a later project.

You know I just realized I can't do that same setup. You are using coilovers. I still have springs in the rear. I wonder if I can cut that bracket you have in the bumpstop spot and maybe weld it to the arm in a different spot... I'll have to take a look around and see what I have to work with.

 

I'll have to hunt down the maxima barrels.
