Hi Guys
I've been installing the rear brake the past week, and took me some puzzling and fitting but finally figured it out ...at least that's what I thought.. I can't get the handbrake to work... One of the reasons I think is the fact that the cable is to long to pull the lever.. However my question : what position should the lever have when in resting position ?? my opinion is that the lever is now to far to the left ??? What is the function of the little spring on the pushrod ?? Please your comments !!! much appreciated |

The second hole at the top of forward shoe doesn't show up in my manual. This could be the problem, will dig through my HUP photos and see can find something that might help. Looks like have new parking brake cables, are you getting full travel? Can you take a picture of the other end? Also did you adjust the service brakes fully and do they work? Keep up the progress reports enjoy watching your HUP project. Cheers Phil

Hi
The position of the parking brake attachment point to the forward shoe may be the problem take a look at these photos and see what you think. 2-18 Beast RR Camera 021.jpg 2-18 Beast RR Camera 022.jpg HUP Brakes 4-07 001.jpg HUP Brakes 4-07 004.jpg Picked the photos which are just after drum was removed, so I know that the parking brake was working as assembled.

Phil This is strange my set-up is complete the same as yours so the the conclusion should be that I don't get enough travel on the cable I'll send some pics of my cable |

Hi
It looks to me that the link hole you are using is closer to the shoe face and a little lower which would reduce travel of the shoe. The adjustment for cable travel on my HUP is at other end where the shield for the cable attaches to the frame then also up at lever link going back to the cross bar. On my HUP I was able to reuse the original parking brake cables, all that needed to be replaced was springs that pull the cable back to disengage the parking brake when it is released. Cheers Phil
