I know what you mean Mike. I was a bit hesitant when I first got an electric park brake in my daily driver. I suppose the assumption is that the foot brake setups we have today are just far more reliable than in years gone by.

Of course it is departing from 'period correctness' too, I know. Plus you can't do handbrakies!

In theory you could install a rotary or slider switch that progressively estuaries the brake, just like the handbrake level does.... Now were really getting techie.

On the other hand, I like the idea you can hide the switch, which effectively makes it a little harder for joy riders to pinch your car!
