On normal Alloy handbrakes it has an Alloy handle but with a Mild Steel
cylinder box. This OBP handbrake is approx 150g lighter than other Alloy
handbrakes and over 200g lighter than the Mild Steel type as the whole unit is
aluminium.
The Alloy handle is manufactured from Aircraft grade Aluminium and
measures approximately 280mm long, with a Super Grip rubber handle. The
cylinder box is manufactured out of Aircraft grade 3mm Aluminium.The handle
pivots on oil impregnated bronze bearings that give a good balance between
weight, strength, wear resistance, conformability and durability in
operation.
This hydraulic hand brake eliminates the weaknesses found in standard
cable type handbrakes. The hydraulic system connects into the brake line that
runs to the rear calipers and requires a lot less force to completely lock both
rear wheels when needed. A hydraulic handbrake is used by drivers to lock up or
break loose the rear wheels when they want to drift the car sideways or spin on
the spot. |
