Really Need Help

holeysocks · 01-06-2011, 12:36 AM

Happy New Year to All:
I need help..I bought a 1984 2 cycle EZGO..The man I bought it from said it had minor brake problems..Cart did not run and had a flat tire ,,so we pushed it onto the trailer.. However the next day I looked and there are NO brakes or,, brakes cables on the cart!!!
What year brakes will fit and will Electric cart brakes fit???? I have another cart about a 1995 model electric. would these fit

Any thing you could tell will be appricated

The electric and the 4 stroke brake parts will not fit.

It's not quite the disaster that it might appear, you would probably need to have replaced the shoes anyway and they are pretty cheap here

When I got my 86 the two brake cables were seized up due to rust and even though I was able to free them up I replaced them for safety. They were both (and they are different) on Ebay for about $25 a piece.
Good Luck
Dave

Dave there is nothing to attach the cables to ..there is a brake pedal and a rod with a spring and that is all ,,nothing to attach the brake shoes to,, no backing plates or drums there

does anyone have a set of rear brakes they don't need ??

Dave Box · 01-07-2011, 10:22 AM

Ouch that's sad. I think that I would be after getting my money back. If you want to keep the cart and can't find used parts maybe one of the hydraulic upgrade kits might be a solution. I don't know how much that runs but there are plenty of guys here who have done it.
Good luck
Dave

OK, I'm confused (which is nothing new but bear with me) ... if you had wheels on the cart (flat or not) which allowed you to roll it on the trailer, you would have to have drums as the wheel mounting studs attach to them (see where I'm going with this?) ...

Maybe it would help for you to snap and post a pic or two of what IS there (with the drums pulled), and the rest of us can fill in the blanks - it might not be THAT bad, depending on what's there or not, I've seen adjuster kits, backing plates, etc out there for the old 2-strokes quite often

Hope you didn't pay much for the cart! Where do you live, I am going to be taking the brakes off my cart, its a 1999 Yamaha, don't know if they would help you or not? I'm in Atl Ga.

Smart man Brew City. There must be a brake drum to hang the wheel off. Come on back Holeysocks, this is a mystery that must be solved

holeysocks · 01-07-2011, 11:51 PM

OK I will look closer tomorrow try and take pictures
does anyone have pictures that might help me?

I really appricate the help men!!

I was looking through a parts catalog the other day and saw drums that just slipped over the axles like a car. That would explain why he had wheels mounted.
