Electronic Throttle Pedal Conversion - Parking Brake

[lexingtoncart]

I have searched under every permutation I can think of, to no avail...

I will be installing an HXJS-4805 electronic pedal. Brake Pedal will run Ausco Read Discs & Jakes Front Hydraulics. Because of the electronic throttle retrofit, there will no longer be a release to the brake pedal parking release dog/cam from the new throttle. I am assuming a hand brake is an easy addition, and figured someone here had done it. Is it as simple as installing it and tying the cabling into the rear discs? Am I oversimplifying it?

Many thanks
Chris

Club Car, Ezgo, and Yamaha all have a 2 part brake pedal. The top section sets the park brake. Pressing the bottom section releases the park brake.

What cart are you asking about?

‘87 Royal Ride, based on his other thread.

Correct - '87 Royal Ride (club car)

If the mechanical pedal is eliminated, there is nothing to release the paw on the parking brake. Figured I would delete the pedal mounted parking brake and add a separate hand parking brake.

Wondering if there is a better way, or how difficult it is to add a hand brake?

Many thanks

I just realized I may have overcomplicated this. Does pressing the brake release the parking brake on an '87 Club Car DS? I was under the impression that only the gas pedal did?

Forgive me if this is idiotic - I "daily" a Star EV with no dual brake and with a manual hand parking brake - hence the reason I went straight to that for a fix!

Thanks

Can this electronic pedal replace the pedal on an MCOR1 or 4 retrofit Club Car DS? I do not like MCOR's made anywhere. I get a year at most out them.

[lexingtoncart]

I’m not nearly knowledgeable enough to answer the MCOR question!

I looked at this in detail, and there are paws/cams on the gas pedal, that I am removing, so I am assuming that the park brake will not work with the removal of the pedal.

I am doing Jake’s front discs and Ausco rear discs - need to figure out how to park brake this thing!!

If the brake pedal has 2 semi independent sections it works like this... press the top section to set the brake. Press the bottom section to release the brake.

Thank you scottyb - I am literally reassembling it on the cart to see how this mechanism works. I think I am over complicating it, but it seems like the gas pedal has the paws that would lock the brake pedal.

Will report back!
