Hand Brake verses electric brake?

[Tomline]

I see there has been a modification on here that coverts the parking brake of some of our Spyders? To a hand brake that I guess is used as a parking brake. Was or is there an issue with the electro/mechanical parking brake? I know some use it because of a lower extremity(leg ankle foot) problem. Just curious if there is an issue with the parking brake? Thanks

as far as the change to the pushbutton electric parking brake goes....some have had issues with the cables coming off the drive wheel but I believe on the earlier models. Folks here quickly found solutions to that. There is the problem of battery issues not allowing the release of the park brake but then the mechanical did have some ratchet problems but not nearly as many and the battery is not a problem. Call me old fashion but I like the manual and have it all...manual shift, manual reverse, and manual park brake. Sadly not an option on many models today.....:banghead:
