On a staging break install, is there a way to have both the pedal and the staging brake lever activate the rear brakes? I wasn't sure if there would be a way to run the lines to or not. I havn't had a real good chance to see a set up in person.

How exactly have you with these set ups been using them? Very interested in finding out more.
Something like this:

Any info would be appericated.

 

I have mine installed with the staging brake controlling the rear brakes, and brake pedal doing the front brake.

i think that's how people usually do it

 

I figured that how everyone did it. But it doesn't hurt to doubel check.
Thanks for the info.

 

We stop just as quickly by using only the front brakes as we did with all 4. Plug the proportioning junction block where the rear brake lines attach and just hook staging brake to the rear brakes with steel braided lines. Keep your braided lines to a max of 3' in length with a splitter mounted in the back

 

Hey Earl-
Do you mean that from the staging brake, run the line no more than 3' before splitting. Or should it be the opposite?

 

Yeah, a rule of thumb when using braided steel flexible lines with brake systems is to keep the lengths to 3' or less. If you install your brake at mid cabin in the car, run 3' of line to the back of the car where you will install a "T". Come off the "T" with additional 3' lines to your rear brakes.
Or you can use hard steel lines of any length for your system.

 

Thanks for the info Earl. This is one of the next things to get for my car.
