Hot Rods Pinion mounted emergency brake

Was doing a bit of brain storming for my current project and was wondering if anyone has ever run a pinion mounted emergency brake on an open driveline banjo rear end? Would be nice to not have the cables going to the drums.

 

Why not run a driveshaft brake on the trans?

 

I have put a few on the transfer cases of 4x4 rigs, and on the pinion of Deuce axles. Either way, they work fine.

In each case, the stuff I used came from here: http://www.tsmmfg.com/driveshaftparkin.html

I made the brackets. Not complicated stuff.

 

Here is a link to one kit and I think if you could get the rotor and caliper you could make the bracket.

They have about six different caliper sizes: http://www.tsmmfg.com/calipers.html

 

That might just work for me.....thanks

 

Check out the caliper link I posted, there are several sizes.

Also, they have numerous rotors, designed to bolt on to the u-joint u-bolts: http://www.tsmmfg.com/Transfer_Case_PB/transfer_case_ro.html

 

I have a Question , are you useing it as a parking brake or in case you lose Your Brakes?

 

Either way you have braking force multiplied by the final drive ratio, so you can do the job with a smaller brake. You also have differential action on the brake, which may be either an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the circumstances. Presumably any slip-limiting device would work on the brake, too.

 

I have one from TSM on my bucket. Nice piece and great guy to deal with. We figured out that he one for a sprint car is the same as a banjo rear end.

 

Speedway catalog #501, page 50 part no. 715-3250, Pinion Mounted E-Brake. This one is for a 9" Ford but might be adaptable.

 

If you are using a GM TH400 it is easy to get the trans output shaft setup they put on motor homes. It is all bolt on.

 

Going to be using as parking brake.

 

I have a kit that I won at a car show, it has everything but the handle I would sell at a bargin

 

http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/ Used to have a kit..I can't find it now, maybe not right search..

 

Do you still have the kit for the pinion that you won at a car show or pics.

I’m trying to get one for a 8.8 rear out of a crown Vic.

 

I would hope you are not holding your breath.look at date on post better to try a PM

 

Thomas, I think he still has it. I will tell Hi-Flying to take a look at this thread. Sam

 

Do you still have your e-brake kit that you won.
I reached out to you last year but never saw a response. my personal e-mail address is

Thankyou. Would you please reach out to high flying and see if he still has his pinion e-brake kit?
