VW E brake/Cutting break

Gelcoater · May 31, 2017

I pulled this pic from the interweb.
Anyone know who made it? If it's still made?
Got one in the attic?

Brian? Is this something you could whittle me up?

I dig the design and functionality of this unit, if anyone knows of a similar unit please post a link!

Are you looking for an old school setup??? Jamar makes steering brakes, you could custom bend the levers to suit your needs I'm sure.....

Well? I guess I am looking for an old school setup. The car is a 68, so..

What I like is the E brake lever and the interaction with the cut brake. It seems a bit more trust worthy than a line lock setup?

The steering brake setups I have always used are hydraulic and work great in the sand....

This car doesn't have an E brake. The hole in the pan where one goes was very cleanly patched and bed linered.
Trying to figure a way for an E brake with the brakes that are already there.
This e brake/cut lever idea looks like a way.

I may just use the line lock deal.

I put a line lock in my car, and it seems to work awesome. No issue at all.

How long have you had it?
I like reading positive about it.
Something about not having a cable operated e brake on a street driven car gives me the heebie jeebies.

A line lock E Brake will work great....
