Handbrake reverse

Handbrake Reverse – CNC Hydraulic Handbrake with Reverse Master Cylinder Position

The Handbrake reverse is a precision-engineered hydraulic handbrake designed for motorsport and performance driving applications where the master cylinder must be positioned at the rear of the unit. Part of the NPParts hydraulic handbrake system, it is machined from 6082-T6 aluminium billet and built to withstand the repeated, high-force inputs typical of rally, drift, and circuit competition use. The reverse master cylinder configuration allows flexible installation in tight cockpit environments or where plumbing routing requires the cylinder to face away from the driver.

Available in a selection of anodized colors to suit different interior setups, this handbrake combines robust structural integrity with precise, consistent hydraulic feel. It is intended for drivers and builders who require reliable, repeatable braking performance from a handbrake system.

Key Features & Benefits

• CNC-machined 6082-T6 aluminium – the billet aluminium construction provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resists deformation under sustained load, making it suitable for demanding motorsport conditions.
• Reverse master cylinder position – the cylinder mounts at the rear of the handbrake body, giving installers greater flexibility in routing brake lines within confined cockpit spaces.
• 360 mm handle length – the extended handle provides good mechanical leverage, allowing controlled and progressive handbrake engagement during competition maneuvers.
• Spherical bearings throughout – precision ball bearings at the pivot points eliminate play and ensure smooth, consistent handle movement over the life of the component.
• Anodized finish in multiple colors – the anodized surface treatment improves corrosion resistance and allows the handbrake to be matched to interior color schemes; available in black, blue, red, purple, silver, and gold.
• Sturdy, low-flex construction – the solid aluminium body resists torsional flex during high-force inputs, ensuring that hydraulic pressure is transferred efficiently to the master cylinder without energy loss.
• Master cylinder not included – the handbrake is sold without a master cylinder, allowing compatibility with a preferred cylinder bore size such as the Wilwood 0.625″ or 0.7″ units sold separately.

Materials & Construction

• 6082-T6 aluminium billet – used for the main body and handle, providing lightweight strength and durability suited to repeated high-load use.
• Spherical ball bearings – precision-rated pivot bearings for smooth and consistent handle travel with minimal wear over time.
• Anodized surface treatment – applied to all exterior aluminium surfaces for corrosion resistance and aesthetic finish.

Applications

• Rally and stage racing – where rapid, forceful handbrake application is required for hairpin and tight corner navigation.
• Drift competition – providing consistent hydraulic rear brake lockup for controlled oversteer initiation and maintenance.
• Circuit motorsport – used as a supplementary braking mechanism during endurance and sprint races.
• Time attack and hillclimb – where a reliable, compact handbrake system is needed in performance-oriented cockpit builds.
• Performance street and track day builds – for drivers who want a functional, motorsport-grade handbrake solution.

Why This Hydraulic Handbrake Is Important

A hydraulic handbrake delivers a direct and progressive braking force to the rear axle that a mechanical cable handbrake cannot replicate. In competitive motorsport — particularly rally and drift — the ability to independently lock the rear wheels quickly and consistently is critical to both lap times and vehicle control. The Handbrake reverse configuration specifically addresses installation flexibility: the reverse-mounted master cylinder allows builders to route hydraulic lines in directions that a standard handbrake cannot accommodate, making it the correct choice when space or plumbing constraints rule out a conventional setup.
