Parking Brake - Dont laugh
« on: January 30, 2014, 03:59:35 pm »
I know 90% of you ditch the parking brake. However, I like how OEM my one 87 Zilla is. One thing that did not work was the parking brake.

The cable is there. BUt how does the button on the top work? I bought a ebay OEM clutch lever assembly and it seems like something is still missing.
Ain't ever seen it......but I have heard it.

Man why didn't you let me know I would've given you my stock lever. The button should engage the brake cable when pushed then you pull the lever in and use the lock. Been a while since I looked at it though.

This one looks like it just holds the clutch lever open? Its like a pin is missing to catch the parking brake lever.

I'd look at mine but it's in a bin at the barn 30 mins away.

I haven't seen a working one in a long time but I think there's a pin you push down and it goes into a hole and you pull the clutch back and it engages the parking brake and the clutch lever stays back. Then you pull the clutch lever and it releases the brake. Again the last time I saw a working one me and Columbus were packing up the mayflower and we had a few pops !!! +k2

thats how it works, i run one still
life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"
