Great pix of last yesterday’s drive up Mt. Lemmon with the AZ Panteras!
Just finished my Tesla EPB install.
Mounted the control & status panel where the handbrake lever was originally mounted. All the switching circuitry goes in there too.
The status is a "dual color" LED light connected to a latching relay... RED for applied, GREEN for released.
The red button is an "interlock", so you have to push both the red button and the rocker switch to apply - only push back on the rocker to release.
Made the adapter brackets myself on a mill... (Yes - I know in this picture the bracket is on the wrong side of the caliper!)

PS... It was a lot of work. Not sure I would do it again if my parking brake was working fine (as my stock one was!)

Well done….
By far, not an easy Set up !
I should bring you over to California to twiddle on my electric….
I agree. Roland's driveway is super steep. He needs all the emergency brake he can get. 
I did it also and don't see it as a difficult installation? It is comprehensive in a sense but look at the bright side. Now you have a parking brake that holds.
I think that the electric power steering is a difficult installation but also worthwhile.
34,000 + views. Wow! You're a popular guy!
Oh...nice job incidentally!
Thanks, All!
I guess I don't have a very steep driveway... and I did most of the work myself. If I wasn't so cheap, I might have saved 20-30 hours in the fabrication of the mounting bracket, and in the electronics design and build by just buying the "off the shelf" solution.
I did buy the PE connectors and harness wire... that was a good investment.
To Doug's point - once I had the brackets done, and the electronics panel wired and bench tested, installing everything in the car took me only about 4 hours...

PS... I think LeMans850 would have more views.... If he only put all his posts in one spot!
Off the shelf solution? Where? There is very little that is off the shelf for a Pantera.
There is fabrication and aesthetic choices to make for everything that is not stock. Seemingly even "complete bolt in kits"?
You even need to choose between air and nitrogen in the tires. What you say? You are only using air? Boy, you aren't keeping up!
There are more views here then Panteras ever made. I guess some folks need to come back for more and just can't believe "these guys"?
Face it Rocky, you are just a legend in your own time and didn't even know it.

there’s no way I ever could compete with you… You did a lot to your car and this thread is running for 11 years! (I’m running just for a little over a year)
I chopped my thread up because I print each one out once I’m done with it and keep them with the car… If you ever have to look anything up or if I ever sell the car, somebody can read what I did.
LeMans - but you never know when the project is going to end, like your underwear thread!
I’m gonna just tell the next owner to use the Internet “way-back” machine (it’s a thing), and look it up on line!!
Doug - I was talking about the brackets and the EPB controller from Pantera Electronics. The brackets are $95, and I probably spent 6-8 hours designing and milling mine…. And the control box took a while to design it, get the parts, and build / test it.
I’d call most of the PE stuff “off the shelf”!
But I appreciate the notice!

I gave my threads a bunch of stupid names … didn’t I….
While I’m there.. can of worms … Lol

Ha! You work cheap.
My son went out and bought a tire mounting machine, a spin balance machine, a bubble balance machine and spent two days mounting the tires. He has your labor rates beat.
Now the reason I know about the tires is he brought the machines here, left them on my deck along with the old tires.
He could have saved some money by paying a shop the $28 per tire they charge and not added to the "let's go annoy Dad with my junk" scenario as well?
Now I have to make a deal with my garbage men to take the tires. Do you think that was his plan all along to save the $4 per tire disposal fee?
Tigers are known to eat their own young you know? I'm sure there is a lot of agita involved even with that? 
Car looks fantastic next to the cactus !
