Reply to "What Are the Parking Brake Options with Aftermarket Brakes"

A Line-lock is simply a valve that holds line pressure applied to your brakes. It is a parking brake developed for fork-lifts, NOT a legal emergency brake. A legal e-brake is a redundent, completely separate system (e.g- a cable) of operating at least the rear brakes in the event of a total hydraulic failure. To my knowlege, no one actually offeres a "kit" for legal e-brakes on a Pantera with thick rotors, but Corvette or Z-28 Camaro calipers have the capability built-in for cable actuation. Dunno how difficult it might be to adapt your stock cable to the GM calipers. I think Hall's 'Super-Stopper kit' use these calipers. Years ago, I added Wilwood cable-operated calipers to my Pantera so as to have legal e-brakes with ventillated rotors. These go-kart calipers require a custom bracket, and were the subject of a couple of articles in the POCA newsletter, with photos.
