Hardie/Terry/Gene, & all,
This may seem like overkill, but; after seeing Terry's parking brake on the photo site, and Hardies ebay Jag "E" brake, I got to thinking of Dan Gregg loosing his rear brakes on his trip out west.
So, the thought was; would it be feasible/possible to add a master & wheel cyl's to assist a rear "emergency/parking brake". Then hold it in place with the parking brake cable, thus relieving the pressure on the emergency/parking brake hydraulics. [[GM replaced our hand parking brake later with a ratcheting foot pedal on the left, w/release lever.]] I was thinking that a ratcheting foot emergency/parking brake could operate a master cylinder [with ratchet removed][mounted under the left floorboard] and apply the hand parking brake cable before releasing the hydraulic master cyl...
That way, in a case like Dan had with his rear brake failure, you could use the left emergency/parking brake to stop.
Just my thoughts on the subject.

Hardie,
From looking at the pictures I don't think the GMC brake disk will fit in
the Jag caliper.
