The Chase Bays Hydro Hand Brake Line Kit is designed for those who want to easily plumb a hydraulic hand brake into their SXE10 chassis. We offer this kit with 2 variations.
Stand Alone Type - This is to be paired with dual rear caliper setup or stand alone rear braking system. It goes directly from the Handbrake Master Cylinder to the secondary calipers on the rear knuckles. We use bulkhead fittings to pass thru the chassis metal so either smoke or weather doesn't have another path to get into the cabin.
Inline / Pass Thru Type - This is to be plumbed within the existing rear brake line fluid path to lock up the existing rear calipers on each side. Essentially creating a detour for the fluid. It starts at the factory rear hardline connections below the OEMC on the frame rail, OR if you have the Chase Bays Brake Line Relocation for Brake Booster Eliminator; it starts at the Bias Valve OUT side. Then through the firewall through an access hole nearby, and to the Hydro Handbrake.
Aside from that line section, both kits continue to and from the Hydro Handbrake ports and move toward the rear of the car through the interior. Once the line tee’s off to both sides, the bulkhead fittings can be installed through the wheel well and connect the final lines between them and the brake calipers. Make sure to route the line in the wheel well away from any moving suspension/drivetrain components factoring in for moment during the suspension travel.
This does eliminate the entire hardline that runs under the chassis and the lines that currently connect to your calipers. If you ever change from inline to standalone setup, you will just connect the rear brake line(s) in the engine bay and at calipers like you had before, and then use this existing kit to connect to your new calipers. How great right?!
The kit uses -3AN stainless steel braided, Teflon PTFE lined, black PVC coated lines. We use the best components in the industry and we pressure test every line we assemble. We guarantee a leak free start up if this product is installed correctly.
