Keri-WMS Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You need a mechanical handbrake to pass a (UK) MOT, but you can ADD a hydraulic one as well (line lock type).... No idea about the rules in Trinidad though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

seab Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well if you didn't have a cable type how would you secure the car when parked up? That's why you need the cable type as well as a hydro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's why you need the cable type as well as a hydro o is that how it works? i have no idea so if im sounding like a moron just let me know every one ive seen has a lock on it so u can use it when its parked but as i said i could be wrong Edited January 14, 2014 by rasslenny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Scott Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 yeah you can use a hydo handbrake to park you car, as long as it has a lock on it or just leave it in gear i have hydraulic and cable hand brakes on mine... and my mate fitted a master cylinder to the back of the origional cable brake on his 86 rally car (so cable and hydro work at same time) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
