SACC Restorations is extremely excited to announce a brand new product that solves several issues that some Pantera owners have complained about for years.
The Electronic Parking Brake Actuator, developed by E-Stopp, is a perfect fit for the Pantera. Are you one of the Pantera owners that agree that the parking brake lever was placed in a strange place? With the placement of the lever on the Passenger side of the console, it can be difficult to get enough leverage to set the parking brake effectively. If you reach over and really set the brake with both hands, you will likely have to use both hands to release it. How about the folks with oversize seats where the parking brake lever is in the way of the larger passenger seat.
Our friends over at E-Stopp have solved these issues for us! With the E-Stopp actuator installed, the parking brake lever in the cabin can be removed and replaced with a single button mounted in a convenient location to the driver, or mounted in a hidden location for an extra measure of theft protection.
When the unit is activated via the push of a button, the E-Stopp actuator slowly applies the parking brake calipers. Once the unit detects 600 pounds of force applied to the cables, it turns itself off. Once off, it does not use any power to maintain the 600 pounds of force applied to the cables. If your choice is to hide the button, the potential thief will not know why the car won’t move!
Once you return to your Pantera, you simply press the button and the parking brakes are slowly released.
The E-Stopp kit retails for $449.00. The unit is compact and fits well in the confined space of the Pantera undercarriage. For a limited time, SACC is offering this kit at an introductory price of only $439.95. Installation does require some mechanical prowess, but for the do-it-yourselfers, this is an exceptional value!
For the folks that would rather have a bolt on product, SACC Restorations is offering a version of the kit with Pantera specific installation hardware and instructions.
This kit comes with mounting brackets for the actuator, mounting brackets for the cables business end, longer actuator cable, adjuster bracket assembly and instructions.
This kit eliminates the stock hand brake lever, the lever attachment arm under the car, the actuating lever (this is the part that holds the wheel that pulls the cable), and the bracket that hold the arm and cable ends (this is the part that some cut off the bottom of the car to facilitate oil pan removal, then they use a bolt on arm assembly). The Pantera specific kit will retail for $659.95 but will be available for a short time at an introductory price of only $639.95!
Let me know if there are any questions...
