Hi

Ive got say that I was pretty unimpressed with E brake on my steel 944 arms that I had on my 1302. They would not lock the rear wheels and would not slow the car at speed, but they held OK on hills, I suspect that this was something to do with the VW lever - 944 E brake ratio.

Im going to use 944 system complete on my new car with the E brake lever mounted next to the drivers seat between the door, this might make entrance into the car a pain in the arse (in more ways than one).

When I had Porsche brakes on my 1302, I learnt to lip read, when I pulled up in traffic you could see people in other cars saying that bug has Porsche brakes on it.

Steve
