Wrong. The e-brake is mechanical. The cable pulls on a gear that rotates and pushes the pads out to the drums. There doesn't need to be any fluid pressure in the cylinders for it to work. That's why its called the emergency brake.The e-brake on a 66 mustang controls the rear brakes. The seal on the cylinder busted, thus no brake pressure.
ah theres your problem. it seems like the sheriffs and state police always give the most trouble for some reason.I just got a brand new phone. Don't have a usb cable for the phone yet & can't figure out how to text them to my email.
And it was Oakland County Sherriffs. We were in Auburn Hills at Rochester Road & Auburn.

Interesting. I thought it mechanically operated the cylinder inside the drum. I thought it was only a solution to a bad master cylinder. I stand corrected as well then. I am no technician either(obviously).Wrong. The e-brake is mechanical. The cable pulls on a gear that rotates and pushes the pads out to the drums.

it's not an e-brake moron it's actually a parking brake. not designed to stop a moving car. made to keep a stopped car from moving.Wrong. The e-brake is mechanical.

While not designed to do so, it by all rights should stop a vehicle. Albeit after a longer distance than the vehicles braking system.it's not an e-brake moron it's actually a parking brake. not designed to stop a moving car. made to keep a stopped car from moving.
