Parking Brakes

Park Brake Lever Mechanism:

All vehicles are equipped with a center console mounted hand operated park brake lever. This lever is an auto-adjust type which continuously applies minimal tension to the parking brake cables to keep them in adjustment at all times. Due to this feature, the park brake cable system does not require manual adjustment. Proper parking brake system adjustment is obtained by proper drum-in-hat brake shoe adjustment.

There is an individual park brake cable for each rear wheel, which are joined using a park brake cable equalizer before terminating at the floor mounted, hand operated park brake lever.

Park Brake Shoe Assembly:

The parking brake located at each rear wheel consists of a small duo-servo brake assembly mounted to the disc brake caliper adapter.

Drum In Hat Rotor:

The hat (center) section of the rear rotor serves as the braking surface (drum) for the parking brakes.
