slngsht Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 so, are these supposed to go on the same hydraulic brake line as the regular brakes? I'm confused how this works with the main master cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR27.Seth Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Wait a second- is somebody planning to either A: Drift a Seven or B: Rally a Seven? Because those are the only two reasons I can see for buying a hydraulic hand brake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimon Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Fiddle brakes are good for "spirited parallel parking" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya Ebrahimi Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 [Greek to you]These are very common in my world of off-pavement travel, but they are referred to as cutting brakes. To utilize this, an individual disengages the rear wheels, creating a front wheel drive situation, they then apply the brakes to the rear wheels, and by turning sharply to one side or the other can literally pivot around the rear axle of the vehicle. Makes for some pretty spectacular maneuvers on tops of rock faces. [/Greek to you] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsimon Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Oddly enough, fiddle brakes (cutting brakes) were incorporated into Colin Chapman's first design which subsequently became the Lotus Mark 1. This car was designed for trials competition. The fiddles allowed sharp turning maneuvers in the off road segments of the trial. I guess that make this discussion appropriate for a Sevens forum.
