Last time I checked, the hand brake was cables. I think your going to have a hard time trying to get brake fluid out of them.

Me thinks you better do some more homewrok on how cars are put together before you try and build a race car.

They make an inline setup, and a rear/front only setup. You'll have to decide what you want, and then read the plumbing diagrams.

Chassisshop.com has them and I think the PDF is there.

Last time i checked the rear brakes are hydrolic and the e-brake is cable.... A staging brake uses the hydrolic system as "e-brake" if you will for a better hold on the brakes.

Its amazing for preloading at the line!!

What would be the advantage over the stock cable hand brake??

Line lock capibilities, more holding pressure, and it's made for this whereas the stock e-brake is not. It does work though.
