Parking brakes are a problem, as there is not much available.
I fitted Wilwood parking brake calipers & I have to say they are SHIT.
Absolutly useless, even when tripling the leverage applied to them.
Brake pad area is no larger than a kids go kart caliper.
And that is where the problem is with the small number of aftermarket parking brake calipers available.
They all have tiny brake pads.

So my hand brake is around 30% effective at best.
I have a pair of late model Mini, (BMW) parking brake calipers that I will install sometime in the future to solve the problem.

regards,
Tony.
