Hand Brake?

<< < (2/2)

Rat:
My old FED had a push hand brake, current FED foot brake. I prefer the hand brake, like TFF I found staging easier. The hand brake was also better when loading/unloading. I have thought about adding a handle and leaving the pedal.

Curly1:
My old Altered I added a hand brake with another master cylinder and it worked very good. You have a lot of leverage with the long handle. I do think the brake was dragging some under hard acceleration due to weight of the handle so I modified it some.

Defiantly pull for brake, on a fast car, your weight could push the brake a lot harder than you want and get you into trouble.  Also a good place for fuel shutoff or parachute release.
