Peter,

My SPF uses the same Wilwood emergency brake caliper as your car. When I got the car, the emergency brake was completely useless. On my first attempt to improve its function, I made a longer actuating arm for the caliper. This helped, but still not adequate. I put the stock arm back on an went another direction. I fabricated a simple lever arm and mounting bracket to provide some compound leverage. Although I would not consider it's performance as outstanding, it will now prevent the car from rolling away on a fairly steep driveway. I've attached a photo. Maybe it will help with an idea for your car.

Ted
