I thought about it, but I’d actually just add it and keep the cable brake. It’d be pretty easy to do, since my brake line runs through the cabin. But i’m not a mad tyte drifter, so I’ll wait on it. Also, I’d probably just get the cheap D2 one: ![http://www.d2racing.com/img/d2hb.jpg](http://www.d2racing.com/img/d2hb.jpg) ---

If the e-brake is pulled and you hit the brakes i believe it would screw up the e-brake cyl. due to the fact that the hydro brake is tied into the rear brake line. unless its ran on a seperate line. and into the caliper. but thats just my $.02 ---

no not like that. when the handbrake isnt pulled up the pressure will bypass the handbrake. but when its pulled up the cylinder for the handbrake will be back putting pressure on the rear brakes, then if you push the brakes it will push fluid thru that valve and behind the handbrake cyl. ---
