Electric park brakes

[deano59]

how much is that option craig ?

One example I know of actuates the brake calipers in the normal fashion for emergency braking.
The vehicle will stop as quickly and safely as it possibly can under EBCM control.
The electric handbrake shoes ARE NOT used under these conditions.

I cannot see how you could possibly have an electric handbrake in any other way.
It would apply the handbrake too harshly and without modulation control would surely be an accident waiting to happen.

Apparently, the unit I linked in my OP goes on about this:

"The system is controlled by a micro computer that regulates the amount of pull. The E-Stopp will only pull up to 600 pounds before it locks down on itself. The button has a detachable head for easy install and has both visual and audible recognition. Also included is our patented ignition safety feature that renders the brake inoperable while the ignition is on. We recently added another ground sync wire that can be hooked up to your parking symbol light on your dash board."
