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

@davidnunn I suppose I should keep a more open mind as I embark on this journey with my first Pantera. With the exception of the Ford V8, it is unlike any car I have ever owned, so the natural tendency I have is to apply the more conventional knowledge I have of  standard cars to the Pantera. However, the more I spend time with the car, the more I’m finding this approach may not always be suitable. 

Thanks for the history behind this aspect of the car. I’ll probably still eye this little lever with extreme suspicion and park the car in gear and block the wheels until I get the e-stop installed with a proper parking brake caliper, if only for the fact that the Pantera represents a substantial investment on my part in just buying it. Having it roll away or get damaged is a cringeworthy thought.
