The recent thread on the Dexter axle with parking brake got me thinking that
such a brake would be a great security device, if it were lockable or even
if it's controls were hidden somewhere. From where do you control the
brake? I wonder if I could rig a parking break on my '66 GT? My
experience with parking brakes on cars with drum brakes is that the shoes
are expanded via a cable and lever that exits the assembly through the
backing plate. Could something be rigged mechanically or maybe
electrically? Do electric brakes need continuous current to stay engaged?
Thanks,
