Hello Brian, Very long time no speak !! Since doing that particularly fast and successful JCB, what now and how is that GT40 of yours coming along ?

The electric park brake (EPB) and its various OE applications mentioned in this thread and also including VW Passat, Audi, Bugatti etc is manufactured by TRW, last I heard they produce about 1.5 million units per year so there should be a few scrapped ones out there !! It is a cable puller system and could work well on a GT40 provided you can find som place to package the unit but what is wrong with a park brake lever ? Mine gets through the MOT every year !! Be aware that the EPB unit has its own ECU so may not just be a case of a switch on the dashboard.
