Reply to "Please help me identify (and understand how to operate) the aftermarket parking brake in my Pantera."

There are a number of design and safety choices made with this car that will be going as far away as I can throw them. This will be one of them. Along with a complete set of Wilwood 4 piston brakes and larger rotors, I’ll be installing an electronic push button parking brake. As it is now, when the car has been parked, I’ve done so under the assumption that there was never a parking brake. I park it, leaving it in gear, and I block the wheels for good measure. I’ll start using this thing as an added bit of protection but will still park it in gear and continue using wheel blocks until the push button brake is installed. 

Additionally, I’d have tried to restore the lever based system but all of the mounting points under the car have been cut off the chassis by a previous owner, probably around the same time that the stainless water lines were installed.
