anyone know anything about 935 shifter rods in early cars?

[look 171]

Thought I ask here before I get hammer over at tech since I have not been there for over 15 years.

Almost finish building the 72. It has Wevo looking shifter. According to the owner (he's no longer remembers since it has been over 15 -20 years) its connected to a 935 shifter rod in the tunnel. This was a dedicated race car that was almost finished but he lost steam and left it. All are connected via Heim joints. I sat in it and played with the shifter today. It feels great, nice and very solid. Its a 915 transmission with a cooler attached. My question is, there's no room for a hand brake. Its just wouldn't fit in there. Any ideas? This will be my stripped out street car, it will be raw and loud. I want to be a kid all over again with this thing, but like to keep it from rolling down the hill if I can help it.

You could install something like this. They're becoming common in older restomods.
But I don't know were you'd install one on a 911. Maybe under the passenger seat with the cable entering the side of the tunnel?

Electrically actuated hand brake.

What about a manual line lock on the brakes?

more info, please

There are pure mechanical line locks, but maybe one with a solenoid might be better.

I am not sure if I know how it actually works. the only thing I know its an old mechanical way with cables. I read a little those those links.

The line lock use your hydraulic brake system to engage the brakes. I believe you press the brake and set the line lock.

sc_rufctr‘S idea would activate the parking brake.

Why not abandon the inside of the tunnel and mount something to the top of the tunnel like this-

Obviously, this is a hydraulic line, and it doesn't have a lockout, but mounting something on top of the tunnel could open up a lot of possibilities, perhaps even running the parking brake cables on top of the tunnel (just thinking out loud). I'm wondering if you could just lift the oem assembly up with longer bolts and shims by a couple of inches to clear the shifter, use the same mounting holes as the original location, and perhaps angle the existing brake cables up to attach to the higher assembly, perhaps drilling some slots in the top of the tunnel so the cables don't interfere with the tunnel, yet emerge out to meet the higher parking brake assembly.

I was envisioning the rallye car type e-brakes the guys pull on to oversteer around the corners, and started laughing about putting one in a 911- I mean, hell, if you're going to flail a 911 around a corner- DO IT RIGHT!!!!.

You could always install a 914 handbrake handle on the left side of the driver's seat that folds down when not in use ........

I would just install a normal 915 shift rod and then reinstall the e-brake lever.
It is tough to get the shift rod out with the engine in the car, but it can be done.

The shift rod and everything was done from way back.

Rerouting all the cables? That's thought, and would make sense only because all the e brake cables has been stripped off.

Interesting, I have never thought of that.

LOL I never said it would be EASY..........

Get a set of small wheel chocks for a little RV trailer. Drill holes in it so the R-gruppe guys think you are a badass.

Problem solved.

This is what I used on the rear circuit on my previous 84. It had a Hargett shifter that made proper original handbrake not easy to use (along with other issues).

Legally, the emergency brake has to be a separate system to the service brakes (can’t use the same hydraulic circuits / mechanism as your normal brakes).

The line lock solution, while elegant, doesn’t satisfy the legal requirement to be separate from the service brakes.

If you are going to do the cutting brake system, do it with individually controlled rear calipers!




You'd be a rockstar in tight parking spaces. Just attach a couple little pivot arms to the handles to flip down when it needs to work like a parking brake.
