I think the biggest obstacle will be because your Spyder frame is very different from a 356 plus the engine and trans are turned around. I can visualize the pull handle under the dash and it related parts probably working but after that, the down stream mechanism most likely will change. In my Spyder, I rather like the nifty little ratchet set up next to the shifter. I probably won't use it much but it's nice to have on occasion ...........Bruce
Thanks, Bruce.
As I mentioned in my original post above, I just purchased a Spyder handbrake (just like your nifty little ratchet set) from Vintage Speed. Like yours, it will be mounted on the floor right next to my shifter. I have no intention of installing an under the dash umbrella hand brake.
The diagram I posted from a 356 was just to illustrate items #16, 6, and 7 in the diagram, as I’m assuming those parts will be similar to the Spyder (and I could find nowhere on the WWW a brake cabling diagram for a Spyder).
If you have the floor mounted handbrake like mine on your Spyder, do you have a photo of the coupling mechanism on the engine side of the firewall illustrating how it’s configured and mounted?
Thanks!
