This is my second Cruiser with El Dorado disk rear brakes. Stops fine (hydroboost gives it no choice) but everyone knows the parking brake sucks on this set up. Everyone knows it, so I don't need to hear it again. I'm going to run some good sized tires, so I like the fact that the disk will keep the wheels from falling off I do break an axle shaft, and they seem to do a good job stopping the truck.
I have shortened the cable as much as I can, there just isn't enough leverage from the Toyota hand brake to fully engage the brake mechanism, at best I can get it to grab enough so slow it down on a mild grade....
I'm wondering if anyone has any tricks to making the parking brake work? Don't want anything super permanent or involved, I'm going to swap this for a FF 80 series rear at some point.
Thanks!
