I know some have been discussed before. Also figure few have either tried or are using.

I want to assemble a drag brake off hand brake for top end. With a fed getting on binders too hard tki quick on top end can be bad real bad. I am thinking small caliper like single piston. Just enough to scrub little but not enough braking to really pull wheel speed quickly.

With only few decent top end pass; I have had one where car got stupid bouncy and did not hurt anything except underwear and maybe lil firesuit. LOL

If using and rather not tell all pm me. If have used liked disliked found useless give me your opinion on it. More of winter add on so just looking for opinions.

I've always considered this option but never got around to doing it. My design would be to make the rear caliper mount long enough to install 2 calipers per wheel. A separate single master cylinder controlled by the hand brake to activate the second set of calipers. To be used more as a backup system in case the main system fails for any reason. Remove the lock on the handle so that the brakes can only come on when the handle is pulled but will release when the handle is released.
