During a most recent discussion with Dave Lenzi (aka the Wizard), he showed us his prototype of a hydraulic parking brake. During said discussion he mentioned that there are now, in production, several light truck models that use a hydraulic parking brake. As nearly as he could tell, the regulation only requires that the parking brake be an isolated system and cannot require the integrity of the service brake to function. This being the case, he was looking at an independent caliper and master cylinder system.
As I recall, he had these parts at Elkhart, but of that I am not certain.
