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

I fabbed up a bracket to mount an inline master cylinder which is operated by the handbrake assembly therefore acting as an actual brake rather than a line lock. Not any master cylinder will do. The correct MC's have fittings where the reservoir goes instead of the actual reservoir. Some of the rally cars use this type of braking. The fluid from the main cylinder plumbs into a fitting where the reservoir usually sits. At rest the fluid just free flows through the ebrake MC and when you need it it works in place of the main MC. The force on the caliper is enough to stall the car when engaged and I have left the car on an incline for prolonged periods of time with no issues.
