Electric solenoid handbrake

Post by YEA 13B »

What are people using for electric handbrake solenoids? The TTC rules state "Handbrake – All vehicle require a hand brake, mechanical or electric solenoid are acceptable."
I want to run an electric solenoid type but all the linelock type ones recommend they are only used for 1minute max? After seeing Priceys fail at toperi i dont want mine to end up like his.

Most people i know use just the line locker!
Of your worried about it not being secure enough then why not use a hydraulic handbrake?

I wouldnt use a line locker as you dont want to do a Pricey!

Can you put a disc on the output of the transfer and use a small caliper on it?
I think Lukey made one for hiluxs so should be easy to copy
