[DeTomaso] parking brakes

Yes, the E-Stopp Electronic Parking Brake Kit is back and available to use with the stock Pantera rear Calipers or with any aftermarket parking brake caliper. I will add them back to our website later this week.
 
We offer the kit as it is sold from E-Stopp. The do-it-yourselfer can fab the brackets needed to mount it in the Pantera. OR, we offer an installation kit that makes the unit a bolt on upgrade. 
 
Interestingly, before I had the E-Stopp installed in my Pantera, I almost never set my parking brake. Not sure why, maybe because I didn’t like how awkward the stock unit was to operate. For the stock unit to work it really needs to be set with a bit or force. Then, to release, I needed to use both hands. After installing the Electronic unit, I set the parking brake every time I park the car. 
 
In addition to the Electronic Actuator, SACC Restorations is coming out with a new Parking Brake Caliper Kit that will be a bolt on unit custom fitted specifically for the Pantera. This will give owners an opportunity to upgrade to a great looking, light weight and affordable parking brake solution. More to come on the new product in the next few weeks!

Scott at SACC (http://www.saccrestorations.net/) was selling an electric parking brake actuator kit for Panteras.  I'm not sure if it is currently available, so you'd have to ask Scott.

  It is more likely a linear actuator driven by a motor. A solenoid would
  not be good as it would need to draw current for the whole time the
  brakes are on. You can probably hear the motor whine when you flip the
  switch (or whatever) and then it goes silent when the brakes are
  on/off. Where there's legislation requiring a parking brake it's
  usually also a requirement that it's mechanically actuated, hydraulics
  are not allowed.

  I confess I don't know if OEM electric parking brake systems work by
  pressurizing the fluid in the line, or if they are a simple mechanical
  'arm'
  that
  is pulling on a mechanical parking brake? Does anybody know that for
  sure?
  ****Audis use a mechanical parking brake actuated by a solenoid - the
  second
  case. They do not pressurize the fluid in the line. They have some
  electronics to ease the brake on if you are moving, but actuating it at
  any
  speed locks up your brakes. They are either on or off.
