adapting/machining drum to 5x100 brakes and wheels

[Steve C]

Hi

Sorry to be going off subject here.

My handbrake cables do go correctly around the circular guides on the base of the Beetle handbrake lever, that's a 1st year apprentice error.

On my 1st 944 rear set-up I used the existing 944 swan necks and adapted the Beetle cables to fit, on my 2nd set-up I used the kit from Lanner with the modified swan necks and sleeve on the handbrake cable tube.

Both set-ups worked about as well as one another, they will hold on a hill no problem, but there is no way that they will lock the back wheels at speed, I think that it is a lever ratio problem, I'm just not able exert enough tension on the cable to lock the brakes.
