Parking brake
#12
Back when I first built my Pe'pe I had chevy disks up front and drum rear. I put 2 lever loc's into it. I quickly burned up the rears since the drums could be over powered with a high horse power engine. I then went to Lincoln disks. It really du put oesn't matter which axle you put it on. I prefer the front, for many reasons. First if its in 4wd that means all 4 wheels are locked. If winching the front end tends to dig in first. The calipers in the front are bigger so stronger holding power.
Once the brake pressure is up you can flip the lever or you can flip the lever and then build pressure. It doesn't matter. Its a one way valve.
