Budget hydraulic handbrake assembly and in-line braided line kit
What is a Backorder?
Q: What is backorder?
When a product is on backorder, it means that we have sold out and we are opening a back order due to popular demand. This is essentially a queue, when new stock arrives from production, we’ll send your order.Q: Will items in my order that are in stock be shipped out first?
We will send your order altogether once your backorder item is ready! You may wish to place separate orders if you want an item before the other is due back in stock.The GKTECH budget hydraulic handbrake kits are designed as a cheap alternative to our complete stand alone hydraulic handbrake setup which requires additional calipers, pads and brackets to run the extra calipers. The in-line kit runs through your existing rear calipers and with the inclusion of the braided lines in this kit, is a direct fit with no modifications required.
The reason we call this a "budget" kit is that we are using a generic handbrake handle, assembly and master cylinder as opposed to our pro kit which is a stand alone uses our proprietary assembly, an expensive CNC machined aluminium/carbon fibre handle, Wilwood master cylinder and with all the required parts costs a minimum of $500-$700 to set up. The stainless steel braided lines included are assembled by us in-house in Australia using quality UK made fittings and braided stainless steel, teflon lined lines.
We developed these kits after many customers request for an in-line kit. Our kit is cheap, super easy to install and is reversible with no permanent modifications. Simply remove the standard line between the master cylinder and the rear main line and connect the new braided lines up to the handbrake master cylinder and back again. Total install time should be around 30 minutes.
The GKTECH braided brake lines are assembled using stainless steel fittings and hose that consists of a Teflon inner tube wrapped in stainless steel braid and a PVC outer coating for protection. The brake lines have been independently tested to comply with FMVSS106 standards for brake hoses. This makes the lines DOT compliant in the USA and they are marked as such on the brake line assemblies.
The FMVSS106 testing procedure that the lines have been tested against includes the following tests:
- 370lbs pull test
- 35 hour whip test
- 7000psi burst test
- -45degF to 245degF temperature tests
- 24 hour salt corrosion resistance test
- For race cars only however no permanent modifications are required.
NOTE: Can NOT be installed on cars with ABS still fitted however can be used in conjunction with our ABS delete kit
NOTE#2: ALL Hydraulic brake systems require bleeding after install

Customer Reviews
Great budget hydro would recommend a 5/8 master instead of a 3/4 master that it comes with ended up changing after due to me running factory s13 rear calipers but after works fantastic have one event on it with no issues. Do research on your caliper set up gk sells a setup that works directly for your build the bang for buck on this setup is great! Only thing I could even remotely complain about is the length of the hydro lines if your trying to run in stock location on s13 they are just a smidge too short but works great have no complaints
I have purchased several items from gkteck
And very helpful advice
Great product for the price, received them quickly after ordering and they even went the extra mile to ensure my order wasn't a double as I ordered for 2 cars.
Great setup easy to install only issue is the handbrake to master hose it at least a foot too long but the handbrake to rear junction hose is like 5cm too short . Seems like the hose lengths should be reversed
Overall not terrible, but a headache.
Had issues with the threads on the handbrake body stripping easily, i've used ebay handbrakes that were better quality material.
Also doesn't lock up at all, No leaks but I've yet to play with different brake pad compounds
Hi Tyran, I'm unsure of what thread you're referring to as the master cylinder comes pre-installled but if you ever have any issues feel free to get in contact with the guys in customer service.
