P1000 1000-5 Parking brake ideas

I like it! Will it hold the machine if you apply throttle with the machine in gear

The drivetrain loads up and the machine shakes forward. I highly recommend not doing that to your clutch but it does make it very evident the brakes are applied

Do you have to use your hands to set it or can you do it by foot?

You can set it by hand or with foot applied. I have a video but I don't think I can upload it

Simple and straight forward. Excellent mod.
I will be doing this in the near future.

There's more on the way. There also isn't really anything special about this part other than by luck of the draw it fit

 

[JTW]

Bhahaha!! It's funny how a good idea spreads like wildfire!

That's half the battle with any of these home remedies! Finding the parts that actually fit!

Todd, you care to get us some measurements of your bracket... be nice to have it ready when the part comes in

I used 1-1/8" bar stock 1/8" thick. The center piece is 2.25" long with a 5/8" hole for the toggle. The other 2 brackets are about 3" long but need a slope cut in them and a hole for mounting to the brake pedal bracket. Your dimensions will vary slightly as you'll need to find a 1/4-20 bolt for the actual engagement of the pedal and a rubber bushing. I had a 1/2" tall 1/2" round bushing with a 1/4" hole in it so that set my depth.

This setup will be a little fancier than my wood wedge ive been using lol
