And only works as a parking brake or last ditch effort emergency brake, their is no modulation to it, it is all on or all off. A hand brake does allow for modulation of effort.

I wonder with e-stop when the battery dies if the brakes are locked or worse yet, if parked on an incline, release.

I’m not familiar with the E brake on automobiles but I do know in the golf cart industry the E brake is released when power is put to it. Without power the magnet slams shut and locks the wheels. Sucks when you have a dead battery.

I'm working on an electronically actuated (push button) parking brake for mine. I'll be using a 911 parking/drum setup. Already have the rocker switch mounted but need to modify my new trailing arms to mount the setup. Then stiffen, then powder coating, then bearings, then bushings, then, then, then...
I'll post a build thread when I get more forward movement/progress. I've been dragging my feet on this but I have almost all the components to make it work. One thing I haven't figured out is where to mount the actuator that pulls the 911 cables. I have new Porsche cables but they are same length, so the actuator need to be somewhat centered. In the trunk maybe for access? I have more pressing issues like a valve cover gasket that will require surgery for access. |

Probability that I will be parked on a hill is about 0. Also, I have two master cylinders (one for front, one for rear). I am ok with the risk.
I will post a picture on my thread when I have it done. |

Could you guys direct me to a few good threads! Grant Grant I ended up with Moparrob's 914 and finished up the center parking brake. You can check out may thread and I will circle back to this post and see if I can narrow down some pages to go to. Happy to help in any way I can. I love it and it works great!
