If you drive off-road, you know how useless the standard transmission brake can become. Also, the parts are becoming hard to get hold of through the dealer network. (We have had an SJ handbrake cable on back order for 2 months now!)

Because of the unavailability of cables, we have incorporated a conversion to use a Land Rover 200tdi type cable (Part Number NRC5088). There is one included in the kit and they are easily available from us or any Land Rover specialist.

The new cable is much stronger than the original and has proved itself in muddy conditions.

Once fitted, your new X-Brake will easily hold your Suzuki on a 45 degree slope and will continue to give supurb holding after a day in the mud!

To fit this kit, you will need to source a transfer box output flange to suit the bolt spacings on your rear prop shaft. This will most likely be the same as the flange which connects the transfer box to your front prop.

There are two different bolt spacings used on Suzuki. Our disk can be used on either.

It may also be possible to modify the old drum, cutting it down to just the flange - but we have not tried this.

If in doubt, contact a Suzuki Specialist such as Rhino Ray.

Replacement pads are readily available from us. We doubt however that you will need any for a long time.

NO - The X-Brake Suzuki uses your original operating lever. The kit includes a bracket which will convert from two cable setups and / or single cable.

Parts are supplied coated with a tough corrosion resistant coating of gold Zinc Passivate to ensure a long life. The Disk is not coated as the brake pads are most efficient gripping on plain steel. The light rubbing action of the pads quickly polishes the surface.

Fitting is easy requiring only simple tools. Full fitting instructions are included as well as advice on adjustment and use.
