I don't remember how Wes handled that... seems like he may have done it?

I've been rolling without an e-brake for the last 75k miles. I keep a wheel chock in the drivers side door pocket in case I park on a hill, but there aren't very many hills out here in Indiana, so I very rarely run into that issue... :)

well your not much help!!! HAHAAHAHA!

Thats what i did, I had a hydro e-brake, for fun, but nothing to park with besides a wheel chock i found when i got pulled over for speeding in my g50. Cop asked me what the long tube was in the middle (ebrake) i said it was my parking brake. lies....

I park on a steep hill every day. the engine mounts and diff and drivetrain don't like it much. it actually rolls forward if i don't put a wheel chock, when in gear.... :(

I was actually thinking one of the easiest thing to do would be to take some sort of electric E-brake actuator and rig it up rather than try and make the linkage work. I know that the buick Lucerne's and Lincoln LS have electric E-brakes, so that would seem to be the easiest thing to do IMO, I've thought about doing that.

Well I have fixed a few broken electric parking brakes, good idea, but I need dual purpose for drifto/racing and parking.
