Naked Buell Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 So I swapped rear disc brakes onto my Brat from an Rx. I was wondering, what do you do now for an emergency brake? Thanks for the info guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I must be missing something obvious but isn't the Brat's E-Brake on the fronts like my GL? I think you can use a Nissan caliper if you need a rear E-Brake on the brat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So I swapped rear disc brakes onto my Brat from an Rx. I was wondering, what do you do now for an emergency brake? Pull the handle......E-brake is on the fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Buell Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Just to let you guys know I have a legacy front end on the Brat and the Rx rear disc set up doesn't have the e brake so that is what I am asking. Sorry should have included that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renob123 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Use this. The two options I know of are to swap to rear calipers that have an e-brake bracket on them (obk25xt is selling some, BTW) or swap to a hydraulic e-brake, which would make you less street legal.

Naked Buell Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Let me clarify. My Brat has a Legacy front end, with the five lugs. I swapped the rears with the Rx so I have disc all the way around. Being the legacy doesn't have the e brake in the front I was wondering what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renob123 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My 2 (well, 3, I guess) suggestions still apply to your case. Hydro or 200SX rear calipers. Jacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I was combing the local PAP today & noticed Nissan Maxima rear calipers look similar to the 200SX ones. Checked rockauto for years & rear brake parts - 200SX have 30mm bores while 90-94 Maxima(3.0L V6) have 34mm bores. Same parking brake cable brackets & levers. Didn't check the pin spacing while there. Edited May 23, 2012 by czny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
