So now it came time to build the brakes. I had this design in my head for a while so it wasnt a big deal to make. Just had to find all the wood i need for it.
I took a pair brakes off an old bike i found and installed into the soapbox car. I had to make a few adjustment cause they werent designed to fit into soapbox car, but it worked out.
I bought a new line wire cause i had to cut the old one in order to remove them form the bike. Plus they were old nd i didnt trust them to work.
All together everything worked out great. You just push down on the lever and the brakes stop the back wheel. At least i hope it does.
