Reply to "Parking Brake Recommendations"

OK, here's my plan of action:
1) Buy a new parking brake cable from one of the vendors (approx. $160). Install and see how it does ... if it holds and releases properly and doesn't require adjustment every couple of weeks, I'm all done.
2) If the cable alone doesn't do it, then I grab the POCA article and spend $120 on the Wilwood units ... I don't need powder coated and etched, although if I get ambitious maybe a trip to the local trophy shop for some engraving might be in store :-)

Thanks for the advice folks, I know running without the parking brake isn't an issue for a lot of folks, and technically I got by without it last year, but it's one of those things I would like to have working so I can run the the car on the slight incline of my driveway and be able to get out and tweek the carb (yes, I also chock the wheels, but the brake would hold her while I take the chocks away).

Thanks for the input!
