47-55.1 *Emergency Brake Setup*

[Zippi]

Pulled my carpet back and there are no holes in the floor plate and my AC duck would be in the way of the E brake release. Since my truck is not stock anyway I guess I'll be looking for option #2.

My new cars both have electrically operated e brakes. I will tell you a) they work and B) not a fan. Not sure if i flipped the switch on it would stop either car in a emergency. That said i understand there's kits out there and if available, might be some from newer cars in junk yard.

that may be a blessing because the cross shaft in the original, I think they put that on the ground first and built the whooooole truck around it. I have cut a bunch of those out and I always need more than one cut to get it loose


vinktovas idea is a good one, you can get a pedal cheap enough and with some effort some cables too.

is it labeled an emergency brake? or a parking brake?

Parking brake. Never liked it never will. supposed to release automatically when driven forward which it does -- most of the time.
