Jim,
Not to open a can of worms, but I suspect you have a very friendly person to do the NYS insection? As the MK IV has no parking brake it does not meet the letter of the law in New York. I ran into this with P1116 as the "E" brake system on that car consisted of a lever and pully unit that pulled the service brake pedal down and engaged all four calipers. The law requires a "separate and non-hydraulic" parking brake system for inspection. Having an inspection license made P1116 a simple matter....I assume you have a similar arrangement?

Please contine to post pictures of the refurb. Does the auto T-44 have any innards or is it "bare"?
