Jim,

Some states require a mechanically actuated emergency brake. That's why I left the drums on the rears when I first registered it in
New Jersey.

What any number of owners have not included in their thinking is that if the case that you take a hit to a drive axle, the final drive or the transmission after the direct clutch (where the parking pawl is), you could have no way to stop the vehicle from rolling if it chose to do so.

I did have my parking brake working, and it can be done.

Matt
