[DeTomaso] Rear Brake Vent - additional pictures

[Ken Green]

It's hard to go to big brakes without big weight unless you can spend several thousands on carbon fiber rotors.  Large iron rotors are heavy.  You can always use a line lock for locking the hydraulic calipers for the parking brake, but there are drawbacks to that also.

  Wow, that looks like a way to seriously increase unsprung mass! Surely
  there must be a better way to incorporate a parking brake function when
  installing those calipers?
