hydraulic e-brake set up?

[vannatta20]

Can I tee this into my rear brake line? I have LS1 brakes on all 4. I was reading you can and you can't. The other way to get it to work is to mount another set of calipers on the back which I really dont want to do.

From what I read on that website is you run it inline. If you tee it in then you would probably have to worry about pushing fluid back into the regular M/C.

Is it possible for the fluid to back track and come out of the M/C? Anyone know for sure?

Once the pad contacts the disk, the fluid is going to take the path of least resistance and head for the M/C rather than build pressure.

From what I understand, those don't lock into position. They're just used for momentary usage.

Part of the point of a true E-brake is the application of brakes by a method other than hydraulics in case of failure.

I am going to use it for drifting but it does have the option to lock in position as well. I do have a extra set of rear calipers so i just need to figure how to mount them.

this isn't so much an "emergency" or "parking" brake, as much as it is a hand operated brake lever.
