[DeTomaso] Anyone using a Electric Parking Brake actuator?

A vendor installed a small handled line lock style parking brake on my 73. Press 
the brake, flip the lever, lift your foot.....exit the car. Worked 
great.................................until I came out to the car after work and 
my car was across the lot against the curb with the cover still on it. The 
hydraulic pressure must have bled down. Missed the concrete base of a light pole 
by less than 2 feet. Proceed with caution.

I came across some of these and it looks like a great way to make more room for 
passenger seat width and also gets rid of some of the clutter under the car.  It 
looks like some use a single actuator connected to cables going to both parking 
brakes, and some use a separate actuator for each parking brake.  Either seems 
like an improvement.
