Late/current cars use an 'all in one" Wilwood caliper that has a built in mechanical parking brake using the service brake pads and that works very well so long as the cables are adjusted properly.
I just received a copy of "Mark III Service Bulletin: 0306mb New Style Park Brake Service and Adjustments"

Is this the service bulletin you're referencing? Also, this bulletin states that the drive shaft mounted park brake system that it addresses was incorporated "around car number 1600". Given the word "around", can I safely assume that his car number 1621 has this system? It's winter, so it might be a while before he can get his car to me so I can look it over myself, so I'm flying blind here trying to determine what needs to be done. Appreciate all the help I've received.
