home made posi
Maybe BOO can help on this one. My itty bitty brain was unoccupied and seeing threads about posys and welding the spyders I remembered a guy I worked with had a sand buggy and it had a pair of little flipper levers that would operate each rear brake independently and was thinking it would work on our carts.
IDEAS??? Gorno where did you leave the spillchick? |

Re: home made posi
I've always called those tractor brakes, some call them steering brakes
Don't have a pic of the one I had on my rail but it was like a shifter lever and you push it foward to brake the right rear and pull it back to brake the left rear. The ones in the pics are the 2 lever type |

Re: home made posi
Like ruredy said.. ours is a shifter for the turning brakes. but only one lever and I think it's only rear brakes. Beyond that I'd have to ask Tom what it works or how. Again, mechanical=I have no idea.

Re: home made posi
I got a hold of one of those old push/pull hydraulic valves for my very first sand bug. That thing was a hoot. That car never went straight anywhere again...Imagine the fun you could have in the mud with that?
