Last night I woke up thinking of a second redundant hydyraulic system for the rear brakes only. Perhaps a T-1 master, or some small slave cylinder attatched to a handle that could apply force for braking....Then I says to myself "self you could plumb this into the existing line going to the rear of the car and put a one way valve in that line to keep it pumping the rears only" Also a one way valve would be need to protect the e-brake pump from the main master cylinder. I know a cable is the ultimate redundant system, but this could be a cool compromise keeping complexity/weight/junk off those rear wheels.

Don't some people use a 'line lock' to keep pressure on the rear brakes. With that you park your car, step hard on the brakes close the 'line lock' valve, and then it maintains pressure in the rear calipers.
That being said, I'm a STRONG believer in the mechanical EMERGENCY brake. It's not a parking brake. It's for that 1% chance where you say, "OH SHIT!" and that little level saves your life or your car. |

"line lock" is used by drag racers to lock the front wheels to do a burn out with out crossing the starting line. line lock is not a emergency brake, it's a valve that closes to "lock" the pressure to the brake circuit that it is installed on. i would not trust the primary hydraulic system as an emergency brake. and to do a simple mechanical disc brake set up to the half shaft at the tranny would be so simple. |
