[DeTomaso] parking brakes

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

Sorry Stephen for the "reply", let me try again to Bill G and the list;

I was thinking it might be possible to mount the upgrade calipers on the
"other" side, and maintain the original as purely mechanical e/parking
brake.  Going a bit more, a "drifting" master cylinder could be used to
hydraulically set the original.  This would provide a third hydraulic
circuit for e/brake availability, but as already stated, hydraulic is not
reliable enough to leave as parking.

back together for me! :)

Whilst 'inelegant', at least the stock system works well.  I installed
Wildwoods on the front of the discs and kept the originals on the back.  I
did have the originals coated black - heck, doesn't look that bad.

That's simply not a good solution. Doesn't work as an emergency brake and
parking brake function is dubious. If you park your car with the brakes hot
they may release when they cool off.

Is anybody using a solinoid based parking brake? Something that that blocks
fluid in the brake lines to hold calipers pressed against the rotors. My
customer does not want the extra set of E brake calipers..

like IPSCO offers. Bill 1362
