[DeTomaso] parking brakes

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Yes Bill, most likely. I have installed calipers on the front side of
the uprights, the holes were threaded and all. I think I heard that not
all uprights are drilled front and back but it may be that only newer
cars that suffer from that.

Is it possible to mount the stock calipers in the front position to use
as Ebrake?  He already has the Wilwoods installed and saftey wired on
the rear mounts..Bill 1362

	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
