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

Thanks Bosswrench. Great observation of a situation that would absolutely drive you mental trying to find it !

Just one comment on the install is to go with the optional cable and plug pack supplied by PE but ask Jon to provide some extra pins for the plugs just in case . I stuffed up the pins in the plug assembly to the Brembos initially and had to redo them and they have to be absolutely perfect. I could not get those plugs here so was waiting while Jon sent me extra pins. Also you might request another 3m of cable over the standard loom run offered . That would give you enough length to get to the front firewall next to the covered area in front of the brake cylinder. The box could then be easily mounted there away from spilt coffee and CB radios. That would have been my ideal but I just could not make the distance. That would be a better spot with shorter runs for access to the fuse panel power and the push button mounting . Next time I would also get a four pin male/female plug supplied at the get go to make the disconnect on the push button easier.

I have also installed the PE cooling controller relay with the separate 35 A resettable breaker which feeds directly off the battery . This had freed up fuse 11 for the original Fan  relay circuit so I was able to repurpose that fuse for a 20A dedicated run for the Brembos. You will need a 20A protected circuit for this.

Just a couple of things to think about if you consider doing it.

I have a couple of 5w handheld units that I use car to car which I find ideal. There is already  enough gizmos cluttering up every nook and cranny!
