Happy New Year everyone !!

I'm getting close to installing rear disk brakes... and have been looking into parking brake solutions. Thank you for the wealth of information and the various solutions that have been posted.

Here's something that I bumped into - looks very interesting

The E-Stopp� push button emergency brake is the perfect e-brake for custom vehicles and winner of the 2012 NSRA new safety product of the year. It not only frees up room on the chassis and in the cab but doubles as an anti-theft device when the button is hidden. It works with any kind of brake system that can accept an e-brake cable and can mount anywhere on the chassis that you have room. The kit comes with the actuator, the control box w/ switch and wire connectors all at an affordable price.

Looks like it is load sensitive rather than limit-switch controlled...

Thoughts ??

That would work but at $450 it's kind of expensive for a 600lb linear actuator, a controller, and some wires.

Parking brakes have always been a challenge with disk vs. drum brakes. Others can chime in on what has worked well with disks. For my coach with rear drum brakes I have installed the stainless steel brake kit that is available from the vendors and I am very happy with it. Between the stainless steel lubricated cables and the pulley's it is very smooth and powerful. I know there is an option for the kit to adapt to disk brakes. I highly recommend it. I feel like I can park with confidence. This obviously requires the rear brakes and the cables to be adjusted properly.

looks like a cool system buy kinda pricy.

Has anyone looked at the electric e-brake from the men's mall from a late model GM car? That might be an affordable option?

just my 2 cents
