Hi guys, just joined as I've just got a 914. Need a little help with parts compatibility and wondered if anyone could help?

Car is a 74 914 with a 3.2 Carrera engine, 901 trans, and it stops with 911 SC vented rotors and calipers all round. Thing is, it doesn't have an emergency brake. The car was built in California but here in the uk it cannot be road legal without one.

Do I go 911 style drum in disc or 914 style ebrake on a calipers?

Thanks in advance
