SL-C E-brake option?

Will, that's not the way I read it:

"19VAC30-70-90. Brakes: emergency, parking, or holding.

A. Some vehicles are equipped with an actual emergency brake, while others have only a parking or holding brake. Some types may be actuated by a foot or hand lever, while others may incorporate a switch or valve to actuate the brake. Air and vacuum brake systems may employ spring activating parking brakes."

Mine is going to be hydraulic, foot operated holding brake.

J Thanks for explaining that, cause I didnt want to be the only dumb kid in the class room to raise his hand.:huh:

I think we are reading it the same way. While the code mentions several possible ways an e-brake could be implemented, it doesn't dictate a specific technology- as some other posters had postulated might be the case in their state. Interestingly, it specifically mentions the approaches both you and I (though our approaches are different) are implementing. I understand the distinction between a true brake (what I am implementing) and a "holding brake" (what you are doing with a line lock), but at a high level, both approaches fall under the same general rubric in the code, and apparently are equally acceptable.
 
if only we could do rocks..... finally passed IVA yesterday with 21.42% efficiency on the parking brake.

Congratulations Craig - bet it wasn't easy! Are you going to tell us what you had to do, either here or in your Blog? Would be very interesting to those of us in the UK (and others).
