Hand Brake Assm. 11:1 Ratio Horizontal

The Hand Brake Assembly with 11:1 Ratio Horizontal mount from Wilwood is a purpose-built hydraulic braking component engineered for vehicles requiring independent or secondary stopping power in tactical, emergency response, and specialized automotive applications. This aluminum-bodied hand brake is designed for operators who demand precise control over braking force without relying solely on primary wheel circuits—critical in law enforcement pursuit vehicles, tactical transport, and off-road recovery operations where modulation and fail-safe redundancy are non-negotiable.

At its core, the 11:1 mechanical ratio delivers significant mechanical advantage, converting operator input into proportional hydraulic pressure with predictable linearity—essential for smooth, controlled engagement without sudden lock-up or sponginess. The horizontal mount orientation fits tight under-dash or mid-chassis installations common in armored or modified duty vehicles, while the aluminum construction with black powder-coat finish resists corrosion and blends seamlessly into tactical builds. The 14.510-inch length accommodates standard hydraulic hose routing and integrates cleanly with existing pedal boxes, providing a compact footprint without sacrificing lever stroke or feel.

Operators in high-demand environments—tactical teams, armored personnel transport, and specialized law enforcement units—benefit most from this assembly's durability and fail-safe architecture. Installation requires integration with a matching Wilwood master cylinder and brake lines; compatibility is confirmed with Wilwood's full brake system lineup. At 2.7 lbs, the compact profile (7.1 × 4.7 × 16.2 inches) fits weight-restricted platforms while maintaining structural rigidity under repeated engagement cycles, making it ideal for vehicles requiring emergency stopping capability with zero margin for error.
