![]() Cutting brakes come from farm tractors, where there are often two pedals and only brakes on the rear wheels, which allows them to pivot around a braked wheel. Pulling the lever activates one master cylinder, and pushing it triggers the opposite. The Wilwood cutting brake assembly is an all-in-one unit with two 3/4" bore master cylinders built into it.

Pull the lever, and pressure is directed only to the calipers plumbed to the lever, not back to the primary master cylinder.

With the Wilwood GS compact remote master cylinder, it can be set up as a pass-through system operating the same calipers as the foot brake master cylinder. These hand brakes, with your choice of a vertical or horizontal lever arm, can be configured with any Wilwood single master cylinder with 2.25" on center vertical mounting holes (not included). Some drag racers also plumb the hand brake lever to a redundant set of rear calipers as an added safety measure, together with a pedal connected to the primary calipers. Drag races use a hand brake to control just the front brake (or just the rear on front-wheel-drive cars), to allow more precise staging than a line lock alone would. These are very popular in drift and rally competition cars, where drivers sometimes need to apply the brakes on only the rear wheels to initiate a slide.
