[Tigers] Tigers Digest,brake comvertion

[Samouce's]

That is the is hurdle for this conversion.

Right now, I am planning on running the RX7 cable to the driver's side only.
I think that the longer RX7 cable may be long enough to reach the handbrake
mechanism.  Just a quick trial and it looks close.  I have a clevis adapter
that I can attach to the stock cable (have to cut off the sheath and cable
to fit) and then the end of the RX7 cable if it is too short.  Because the
RX7 cable outer sheath is clamped to the caliper, I will not need that on
the hand brake side.  I will only know if this will work once I have the
caliper mounted and then start to work it.


Here is a pic of the cable connection on the caliper. -

The opposite end of the cable with the adapter I purchased from Harbor
Freight for $7. -

Hello Duke,
I am attempting to do a conversion using early RX7 rears, have the calipers,
etc, but am confused when it comes to the emergency brake setup.
I have no parts to do that part of the conversion.
Can you tell me what you are using, how the setup looks, pic's if you have
any yet.....?
My Regards, Hank

No,

 

The FB refers to the body style.  1st gen RX7's were FB, Second FC, Third
FD.

 

I got just the rears.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi, You mention in tiger digest that you found your brakes and it said fb
,did that mean front brakes? Did you get the fronts and rear assemblies of a
rx 7 or just the rears. Thanks Beau
