The car is a 1972 Hillman Avenger. I would like to know the legality of the following two options please:
- If i fit a hydraulic handbrake into the rear brake circuit will this pass as a Parking Brake?
- If i fit a hydraulic handbrake with a seperate hydraulic circuit acting on seperate calipers
Neither options use cables or any other mechanical operation.

Hi Nev,
How about Two Seperate handbrake levers mounted in the vehicle? One Hydraulic and One Mechanical?
I Have seen this done.

True Fly off H/B needs the button pushing to lock rather than unlock.

A Fly Off Handbrake,
"Is" "Allowed" If fitted as standard, "Triumph TR4A", "Jaguar XJS", and maybye that "Hillman Avenger Tiger".
"Stealth" will be along shortly to put us out of our confusion.

Answers as follows;
1. No. Handbrake must be a separate Mechanical brake.
2. No . See above.
Your options are limited. The brake cannot be hydraulic,
and cannot be a "Fly off" handbrake.

Hi Kev,
why not a "fly off" handbrake? Jag XJS and others, fitted?
Some Rally Cars have a seperate hydraulic master cylinder fitted inside the vehicle connected to the handbrake lever, they use a fly off handbrake lever to allow the hydraulic handbrake to work.
The only difference between a normal hand brake and a "fly off" Is You press the button to hold the brake rather than it release.
ps; the latest electric parking brakes use an electric motor to operate cables.

Ah, ok so how do the modern systems work that just seem to be a button and then i can hear an electric motor working? Surely that would not be deemed mechanical?
