Reply to "Emergency Brake Options ??..."

I changed to different rear calipers in mid- 1997, and built a pair of aluminum brackets that mount a sliding mechanical Wilwood e-brake caliper on each rear upright. Been running them ever since with no trouble, except that the Wilwood pads rattle a little. With the drivers window down at low speed, one can hear them. The stock Pantera e-brake handle, under-car bellcrank and stock cables all interface with the Wilwood with a couple minor tweeks. If you have back issues of the POCA News, its written up in the Oct '98 issue. Pantera East in FL now sells such a system as a bolt-on for Panteras or Vipers, saving you the fabrication. The Wilwood e-brake works no better than a stocker, but the change does allow wider rotors and/or lighter weight brake components for better handling. And the system is still a 'legal' cable operated e-brake.
