So I guess I should have read up on this a little more before I ordered all of my parts. It doesnt sound like these calipers have a very good E-rake/Parking brake set up and they are hard to find, thus expensive.

1)Would I be an idot to run my manual truck with out a ebrake/Parking Brake? If I forget about the ebrake I could get away with runnig the new willwood D52 duel piston calapers all the way around.

2) is it possiple to use a line lock as a parking brake?
