[Healeys] Electronic Parking Brake

[Alan Seigrist]

Question -

I think there are two types of electronic e-brakes.

The one for the Land rover is cable operated, yes?

I'm talking about the kind that the stepping motor is attached directly to
the caliper.  Seems like this kind would be much easier to install.

Best,

Alan
