electric e brake

[insurance guy]

has anyone installed the e-stopp electric brake system?
if so can you share pics and opinion
thanks

I have. Mike Everson has also. Unfortunately these are the only pictures of my install. Its fairly easy to install. I have a second one for sale if your interested.

Looking at this set up also, I can't verify that it will pass state inspection here in Pa.
I have been reading the requirements for braking systems on Spec Construction/hot rod/ etc. Only thing covers is this,

The service brakes shall act
on all wheels upon application and shall be
capable of stopping the vehicle in not more than
the maximum stopping distance prescribed in
Table I (relating to brake performance). Every
street rod, specially constructed vehicle and
reconstructed vehicle shall be equipped with a
service brake system which is identical to the
originally manufactured brake system; except, if
the original system has been modified or the
street rod has rear tires wider than 9 inches, the
service brake system shall be of a design that
rupture or failure of either the front or rear brake
system will not result in the complete loss of
braking function. Braking function may be
obtained by hydraulic or other means through
a normal brake mechanism. In the event of a
rupture or failure of actuating force component,
unaffected brakes shall be capable of applying
adequate braking force to the vehicle.

I cant get a straight answer from 2 service stations locally. One said no elec E brake unless it was original equipment.
The other guy said he has never had that question come up before, and suggest I check on line.

A little frustrated, to say the least.

Inkeeper, have you gotten a resolution to this? I am looking to build an 818C and have a electronic ebrake system.

dual master cylinder reservoirs would work based on how I read it.

Ken,

Unfortunately I have not, and to be honest - I haven't really pursued it either.
I am in the process of rebuilding my ej207, and collecting the other parts - as I didn't have a donor.

The way I read this section is that it is about the regular brakes, and has nothing to do with the parking brake.

Thats the way I read it too
I made my own e brake for under $100 and it passed my local inspection station

If I jump in on a 818C build, I plan to use a e-stopp unit.
