We've learned a lot about pedal ratios (which is the distance between swing and master cylinder connection plus length of the pedal/handle) with our other product, the Brake Booster Eliminator. Therefore the entire package has to be designed around that. Nearly every handbrake we see uses a Wilwood base thats designed for a foot activated pedal not a hand activated handle. In addition to this our handbrake requires minimal force to lock the rear calipers. We have implemented a cylinder shape comfort grip atop the Chase Bays Handbrake handle and it's guaranteed to leave your hand happy instead of sore. If you've used other handbrakes besides ours, then you probably experienced a sore hand.
Instead all we see is the same off-the-shelf base with uncomfortable machined handles (with the wrong handle ratio). No one else is providing a thought out one-off solution like ours. We have designs for Stand Alone / Inline Style master cylinder AND Reverse Mount / Forward Mount. This makes mounting a breeze and creates a sturdy mount for no flex. Not all of it has to be touching the chassis.in most cases it overhangs in some areas. It's even pre-tapped for the supplied hardware. The factory trans tunnel metal flexes too much, so we're offering a steel plate that matches the handbrake base shape. You may experience some from the master cylinder clevis rod itself.this is unfortunately something out of our hands since we don't make master cylinders (yet).
The Chase Brake Handbrake has zero shimmy on the handle.
CHASE BAYS HYDRO HANDBRAKE INSTALL
Other handbrakes shimmy in all directions from poor machining tolerances (which creates longer throw from wasted space) and the entire assembly flexes on the tunnel since they lack the proper install hardware. This was huge for us when designing a handbrake. The increased aesthetics of its minimalism is a nice plus too! Ours is over 3" inches shorter than the current popular options, we don't even understand why anyone would buy another brands. We wanted the ability to install under factory center consoles and others on the market do not allow for this. Read on to learn how we fixed these common issues.īy using a side mount or sideways mounted master cylinder we've created the most compact base and master cylinder mounting available. If you've experienced these issues or you want to avoid them then you're on the right page. They were too bulky, poor design created large amount of play or shimmy in the handle, extremely uncomfortable on the hand, too hard to pull, and incomplete package (aka missing important components). When we set out to design the perfect handbrake, we took in all the aches and pains of other handbrakes and here's what found. This is great for mounting it under your radio/climate control area, very stealthy! Reverse mount is for those who want the base and master cylinder portion of the Handbrake to go in front of the handle.
