Speaking of white knuckles . . . we bought the Coca-Cola without rear
brakes. We drove it from Nashville, TN to Statesville, NC with only the
front brakes working. Made it down the Black Mountain grade on I-40 with
only the transmission holding back.

Don,t work right now, looking to replace the cables. BUT did work
when I needed them..

Did anyone continue with the 'Screw' type of parking brake puller that was
talked about here in Oct/Nov?? Sounded like a great idea! It used an
electric motor to turn a screw that pulled on the standard cable with alot
more force than the brake handle can exert. Don't know where to look for
this kind of device other than seeing it used on highend garage door openers.

The April 1996 issue of GMC Motorhome Marketplace has a great article by
Keith Oxford on an electric powered parking brake. Uses parts availible
from grainger. You can order that issue from: GMC Motorhome Marketplace
7091 Broadway, Suite D
Merrillville, IN 46410-3537

You can buy the April 1996 back issue for 5 dollars.
