Re: TOY: Rear Parking Brake - Disks

[Thom Singer <ntsqd@xxxxxxxxx>]

It'll hold the truck on the flat. At what steepness point it will cease
to be able to hold the truck I don't know, I'll guess something beyond
20* given your diff ratio. Twenty degrees is really quite steep.
As to the Mico Lock, that will be fine for trail use. Do not count on
it for parking over night. The nature of hydraulics is that they bleed
down given enough time at elevated pressure.
