emergency brake

[jlat]

hello people; Today at work we had a small conversation about them. It's favoring most don't use them much unless you had a standard or on a steep hill. I don't think I've used the E brake in my T ever. I do remember getting a sticker on another car only to find out the attendand put it on and getting it froze in the brake position. Probably lack of use and the cable getting stuck due to rust. Maybe it's a good habit to get into and I might but who knows.

Its called a parking brake in automotive terms not trying to be funny. Emergency not used since mid sixties when cars had one reservoir for all four wheels.

I only use the parking brake to move the GN around when I've had the brake system opened before I have a chance to bleed it. My C5 is a 6 speed and its parking brake is so bad I don't even use it when parked on a hill. Funny, but when I add rear disc to the GN, I want a kit with a functional parking brake
