wanted to start a new link

Here are some of the things we were looking at , back in 06 (love to say
that)

TerryS built the dual caliper plate, and he was looking at using a second
caliper with a second Master cyl, connected to the brake lever.

I was looking at attaching a mechanical caliper on the second position,
connected to the emergency brake cables.

this would not impact the normal disk brakes.

nothing new that I know of since that time.

FYI

Someone with more money than sense! ;-)

Actually I reckon it would be a hell of a lot easier to come up with a
mechanical caliper that clamps to the disk.

At DuQuoin Al Branscombe had a Kelsey Hayes (I think) brake caliper out of a
Lincoln (I think) that has a ball bearing mechanism to actuate the pads in a
similar way that the ones Eldorado's used.
