Parking brake

Saw this on another website so I made one it works great. Slide it over the pivot of the brake pedal push the brake and slide it in the gap. secure it with a hose clamp leaving enough room to turn it out of the way when not in use.

7/8 washer

I don't understand how it works. How would you reach it?

Neat ideal

How's it suppose to work?

I have to put one leg out on the ground so I can reach it something to do with weighing 250!!! But you push the brake with your right leg and slide the shim into the gap between the pedal arm and the pedal stop and it will hold the pedal down.. I bought one of the lever ones then saw this idea and tried it i am goung to give these to my buddies and save them the 150 bucks. I'll try to get a pic of it in use.

ain't that neat...

I saw a similar setup Saturday on Finzups' rzr. Worked great and I want one!

I noticed the youth rzr has a hand brake , wonder if that system would cross over to the adult RZR , if it has its own master cylinder /lever system then I may try to work one on my Ranger .

Here's the one that I originally posted, but I have one that's easier to use now.



New design has a handle, making it easier to access. If there's any interest, I'll post a pic of version II. The pic above doesn't show the hose clamp I recommended, but now I've gone to a snap ring to keep it all in place.

I would like to see the new version.

just wondering , what keeps that thing from sliding over & locking up the brakes while you're riding?

Looks like the weight of the handle would keep it out of the way. Can you use you left foot to move it into place?

I think when you slide the red handle to the left... it releases the brake.

but what keeps it from going back.

I think the handle falls down and moves the stop out of the way.

You're right. The handle and engagement tab are long enough(in combination) for it to just lay on the inner fender. Just adjust the position of the snap ring to easily allow engagement. Also adjust the master cylinder rod to offer the tightest fit without having to "hunt" too much for it.

Bubba,

You can disengage it with your left foot after depressing the brake pedal.

Good information Thanks

Thats a great idea.

Maybe a video , I see it but just don't see how it engages .....
