I am in the build a parking brake system right now, waiting on a couple of cables for the wheel end and have made some brackets to mount the actuator. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Your skills and build are over the top, Kudo's sir,
I have my brakes adjusted so that the brakes are set when it reaches the end of its stroke (turns off) you do not want it continually pulling the actuator will break. It does not take much to engage the brake. What I did was install my brakes with the actuator closed then started my adjustment from there.
