E brake finally underway. Had the disk and caliper mount done months ago. Just mounted the master. Going to go through the seat firewall for the handle.

E brake works. Could use a smaller bore master cylinder for an easier pull. Think I have some old 4 wheeler rear brake masters I might try later. Still need to test this one some more and brake in the pads.

I had thought about an electronic line lock but I like the idea if you blow a brake line you would still have ebrake

The duty cycle is real low on the electric locks. The cheap manual locks like to leak and blow seals also. The stock master cylinder only has 1 shared reservoir so if anything leaks you will loose all brakes. Swapping to a dual reservoir master cylinder is what I would like to do also to separate front and rear brakes. Wilwood has a 1" bore master with remote reservoirs. Will have to fab an adapter bracket and rod. I'll get to that before takeover.

I wonder with wilwood master cylinder if it would stop a little better?

would a cable actuated caliper work? Similar to a Cadilac rear.
Any pics of the caliper/ disk mounted to pinion?

Or this?Screenshot 20180220 134629

I think somewhere like post 410 in this thread there was one way up there. I don't know why a cable wouldn't work might my be hard to pull unless you make foot

The 1" bore would give a little more leverage than the stock 1 1/16" bore.

I bought the wilwood one just like that but it was not floating unless I made some crazy bracket for it. I wanted that with the old toyota truck pull and turn e brake.

Ok I did the Toyota pull Ebrake on my Rocky build. It worked flawless, but there' not as much room to work with here.

I wonder how much work it would be to add a four-wheeler caliper to each Factory disc and then put the master cylinder on them or do cables with foot lever
