ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for assembling a modular brake system on a vehicle by the steps of preparing a reactive slide member having pins to facilitate reciprocal movement and a bore therein for receiving a cable strand; operatively associating a first cable conduit having a first cable strand disposed therein with the reactive slide member such that the first cable strand can slidably move through the conduit and reactive slide member; preparing a housing having inner walls which define a cavity, an opening for receiving the slide member, openings for allowing cable strands to enter or exit the cavity and channels on the inner walls for receiving the pins of the reactive slide member; affixing a second cable conduit to one of the openings of the housing for receiving a cable strand which exits the housing cavity through that opening; preparing a third cable conduit having a third cable strand slidably disposed therein; placing the reactive slide member into the housing through its respective housing opening; passing a first end of the first cable strand from the reactive slide member through a housing opening and into the second cable conduit; attaching a first end of the third cable strand to the reactive slide member; and configuring the first end of the first cable strand and a second end of the third cable strand for transmitting forces to first and second vehicle brakes, respectively. The invention also relates to a modular brake system which is provided by the heretofore described assembly method.
