Perhaps I had a few too many brews last night. I did a rear disc set-up using the '85 Camaro front disc. Obviously no p-brake. So I'm thinking, hmmmmm what if you plumbed a line-loc to the rear brake line and attach it's switch to the parking brake pedal? Any thoughts? Tony A. graemlins/beers.gif

It's electrically powered, you gonna leach off the battery the whole time it's parked?

Not to mention the minor detail that the solenoid would burn up in about one minute. They are not supposed to be used for more than 30 seconds.

Back to the drawing board. smile.gif
