Although with dual circuit brakes, as are common these days, there's not so much need. However, it's perfectly possible to design a drum brake of this size which would lock the wheels at say 30 mph. Or indeed to use the rear calipers for the job - I had a Rover P6 with Girling disc brakes where the handbrake was part of the rear caliper, and that would exceed
90% efficiency at the annual MOT.I wonder if will introduce "Nazi" into the conversation later in the evening. That should end the thread...
