Re: Opinion on leaving out the parking brake?

I've eliminated the stock parking brake on my 50. I will however be adding some sort of emergency brake via a floor mounted hand lever. There seems to be an endless supply of hand brakes in the junk yards, configurations of every imaginable type. Getting one of them hooked up to the rear brake cables (since most of us have gone 10-12 bolt, 8-9" etc) is a pretty simple task.
