Common Questions
Will this work with aftermarket brake pedals?
The Spring Brake Thingy is designed to work with the stock gas pedal and brake pedal assembly. While some aftermarket setups might be compatible, we cannot guarantee fitment without specific details.
What size padlock can I use?
You can use a padlock with a shaft diameter between 1/4 inch and 5/16 inch. Please ensure your padlock fits securely through the provided hole.
Do I need to use my vehicle's park gear when using this brake?
Yes, it is essential to always use your vehicle's standard park gear in conjunction with the Spring Brake Thingy and to ensure your brakes are in good working condition. This brake is an added security measure, not a replacement for your primary braking system.
Is this suitable for all Wildcat models?
This specific model is designed for the Wildcat Trail and Sport models from 2013 onwards. Please check other listings for different Wildcat models or general UTV applications.
What Riders Are Saying
A must-have for anyone with a Wildcat Trail! The peace of mind knowing I can truly secure my machine with a padlock is invaluable. Installation was a breeze, took less than 5 minutes. Highly recommend!

Finally, a parking brake that offers real security. I love that I can add my own padlock. No more worrying about it rolling away on the trailer or a steep campsite. Simple, effective, and well-made.
