Well i am finally getting around to trying to jump through the hoops to get this unit registered in australia
i have 80 mm caddy front calipers on all rear wheels on caddy backing plates
no hand brake cables at all
hand brake lever has been removed
my engineer has Given me this below concerning parking brake
Park brake - According to 2nd edition ADRs the park brake must be a 'mechanical frictional' type brake. Nothing really we didn't already know. I have found these on the net http://www.bdub.net/branscombe/ do a kit. This will require a 'park brake test' to determine if the parking brake is capable of maintaining the vehicle stationery on a 20deg slope. There is a 19 deg street in Hamilton that we can use (Quarry st). Code LG2 will need to be applied to verify both the installation and function.
my first thoughts were to replace the exiting 80 mm calipers with
cadillac park eldo park brake calipers on all 4 wheels and actuate this using a linear actuator
but i thought i would ask for opinions from the group
also as my coach is ex bobby moores some of you may have abit more knowledge of what he has done or point me to wher anything that he did was documented.
