Lokar 7016 eBrake handle?
Has anyone used the Lokar EHB-7016 parking brake handle in their build? I have a 7000f with an IRS setup (93 SuperCoupe) and can't get enough force applied to the calipers to make it function well. A thought is to convert to a longer handle to get more ummph.
Spoke to Lokar and the hole spacing is different (7016 = 3", 7000F - 4 11/16") but the arc travel is similar. To those who are unaware, the late model Ford brake actuates the eBrake caliper by sliding the housing on the cable - kind of BassAckwards. Takes a fare amount of travel and force to actuate. Am I alone in my quest? surely someone else has been down this road? thanks Paul |
Yep, I've got the same setup. Takes a real yank to lock the wheels.
Some guys fabricate a new lower lever to amplify the force. I just live with it and be careful. I never park on a hill and even put a brick under the wheel while warming the car in the driveway without me in it. (slight downhill slope) Always park in gear too! |
