In Reply to: Emergency brake for rear discs. posted by Bruce on Thursday, August 03, 2006 at 6:29PM :
I used a caliper and Ratchet Ebrake handle from Street Rod Mfg Located in CO. The caliper looks like exactly the same as High Angle Drive Line sells for Hundreds. In 2003, I bought the Caliper and Ratchet handle for less than $100. I made my own rotor as at that time TSM was not making a rotor to fit the yoke on the NP-205. The Caliper mount bolts to the rear of the NP-205. I used SS Tube as a cable guide for the aircraft cable (suplied with the Ratchet Handle). A Brake cable type adjuster allows for infinite adjustment of the ebrake. The Rotor is .375 steel. It works great.
I have a series of pictures on image event. Look at
