Baer parking brake not holding?

[scott313]

I was interested if anyone else is experiencing this problem and if they have a fix?

My 69 Camaro’s Baer Sport rear disc brake, parking brake will not hold on a slope (driveway 8 degree angle)? The parking assembly will apply bust will not hold with sufficient force to stop the car from rolling on a slight incline.



Pad are adjusted correctly just touching, set screw adjusted correctly, calipers have been replaced, complete new factory cable adjusted, added Lokar’s E-brake cable, both brakes are applying, pedal travel is about ½ to ¾ the way. I can not press it further without bending the pedal assembly. The rear calipers are centered on the rotor and I have tried replacement pads following the bedding procedure. The brakes stop fine when using the normal brake pedal.

Note: I did test another 69 Camaro with the same setup. When the pedal was fully depressed a friend and I could still push the Camaro without great difficulty.

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
