Albert Branscombe, our parking brake guru, passed away last August. I have in my possession the remaining parts inventory for his brake systems
I can put together kits for Albert's new Electric Parking Brake (EPB). The calipers, rotors, pads etc (all the wear parts) are from current production models so replacement parts should be available for years to come.
For the stainless steel parking brake system there are some rubber boots, springs etc.
If anyone is looking for some replacement parts, please email me. A photo of what you need would be good.
Please note we go south for the winter, so I will not be shipping until we return mid April, but we do have internet access for emailing.
My email is bhislop76 at gmail.com
Thanks,

Is there a version that is for stock rear drums and stock brake lever? If I remember there were some pulleys at friction points along the cable paths so that more force reached the rear drum levers.

John,
Albert had a stainless steel parking brake cable system that used pulleys to reduce friction and increase the pull to the brakes. Several years ago some key components became no longer available. so Albert had to cease making that product. There are a few parts available for anyone using his cable system.
The electric parking brake is a disk brake system uses an current production caliper with an integral electric motor to apply the caliper piston in parking brake mode. No arm-stronging the lever or finicky adjustments to make. Just flick a switch to set the brake and flick the switch the opposite way to release.
