Hi All

I have a 320i e30 1989, so it has drums on the back and I'm wanting to fit a hydraulic handbrake. Is this possible? and if so does anyone know good kits to buy or a place in the north east where I can get one fitted?

Thanks
Jack

think it is possible mate i looked into it but decided just to use a drift button orderd from driftworks but i was going to get this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vertical-Hydr ... 1c1af33207

seen it on a few cars works well fitting is fairly simple http://www.trampdrift.com/index.php?opt ... Itemid=760

wont pass mot with a hydraulic secondary brake, needs to be mechanical.

so if that's a concern then forget hydraulic systems.
