hey there, i duno how ur states are, but for VA state inspection you must have an e-brake. my question is- would having a driveshaft e-brake allow you to pass inspection, without the conventional e-brake?

Only if they don't see it.
In NY, they law states that a seperate, mechanical braking system MUST be used for it to be legal. doesn't say where though. I have the shaft brake on my big truck.

same here in PA, needs to be a mechanical style brake separate from the hydraulic braking system. Actually the old 68 jeep gladiator we used to have had a drum style driveline brake factory.

Actually the PA law doesn't state mechanical, just that it is a seperate system from the service brakes. Thats what I remember from my inspection manual anyway. Either way in PA it would pass.
