Some states mandate that if it has a hydraulic park brake that it had to be on a separate circuit. Have you seen diy's dual caliper mount? That seems like the hot ticket to me.
NV has no vehicle inspections at all. Just smog and that's only in two counties. No I haven't, might have to take a look, though it's be a shame to swap out brand new parts.

It might have been ruffstuff actually.
God damn...

I think they are pretty nifty. One set for the rear brakes, one for the parking brakes.

Very cool. Anyone have a link for these brackets? Also, how would you plumb the calipers? Tap the casting for a line between the two?
I think I'd have custom lines made. Ideally I'd want to have a cable operated caliper for the park brake.

I was thinking these would be cool on front.
The restoration/modification of Daisy... [park brake question]
With double calipers You'd probably need a bigger master cylinder to feed all of them.

Just recently installed hydra boost brakes with a 1 1/8 inch bore master cylinder. It definitely stops better already! Dual calipers might just turn this big hunk of metal into a sports car.

With dual calipers, the idea isn't to have both of them applying the brakes. Ones is for brakes, the other for park brake only. The park brake would use a separate master cylinder.

I feel you. I wonder if late model stuff with disc brakes would swap over.
Like, the trucks? They use some goofy parking brake drum inside the disk.
Only worth dealing with if you are going to swap the whole axle.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If I didn't already have a Detroit and discs on my axle, I'd consider it. If course those things make my axle easier to sell and justify the cost of a new axle. Nah...
Not sure anyone has really started swapping those axles in.
Not sure why, but doesn't seem to be done much.
Those little parking drum things suck.
I'm missing something...if you want a cable operated e-brake caliper, why not simply use the Eldorado caliper? Seems a lot easier than swapping axles again...
Only because I already have other calipers. It's not much of a reason I guess haha! New calipers and a cable setup is all it would take probably.
