    handbrake conversion for LT230

    The handbrake on my LT230 in my series one 88" works very well only it hangs too low for my liking. Its connected by the series brake lever OK but I wondered if anyone has converted the drum assembly back to the smaller diameter series one as well.
    I found cable operated conversions but prefer the linkage one.

    Yes , I looked at them but the linkage goes the wrong way. It pushes from right to left. I could do it with a cable but wanted to stick to linkage.

    I have been thinking about using an SIIB 11" drumbrake on Gog*, so I'd be interested in how you go.

    * Have a stumpy R380 with a 6cyl flywheel housing modified to fit the R380 so I can solve the problem of the Low ratio of the standard SIIB F/C box but there are clearance issues with the cross member behind the transfer.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I think you are right, they might be my best bet.
    The series pull rod is too close for the wider LT230 housing.
    If I rotate the small rangie one 90 degrees the push can become a pull up and may connect to the hand brake lever OK.
    It will need a spacer for the backing plate but thats OK. Still need to look at it a bit yet.
