Parking Brake

[Brent]

If anyone is interrested in adding a manual parking brake I have found a good source for the rear calipers.

Jaguar specialties

I ran across some IRS pieces he had on e-bay and e-mailed him a Q about the parking brake calipers.

Complete with the mounting screws = 75.00 a pair :D

Just an FYI

Have you put them on your car yet?

They should be here on Thursday. Fun weekend ahead.

Brent,
If the calipers are salvage yard take offs you should disasemble them and clean & lube the self adjusters.

If you could document the install and post it here, it would be fantastic! I, for one, am very interested in this modification. The line-lock is fine, but I don't trust it on much more than level ground. Parking in gear obviously helps, but all you need is one no-brain yokel to reach in and play with the shifter... [B)]

Kieth move back to Cherokee Co. - and avoid the yokels :D

Carry portable fold-up wheel chocks!!!!! They're available at any decent auto parts store. We have great parking brakes on commercial airliners, but we still chock 'em every time at every gate.

Evcel,

I will do that. I hope to do it this weekend and I will post as soon as I can. I actually might mock it up and post pics to get opinions before I final fit the assy.
