Thread derailment engaged. If you want a mechanical parking brake that would work. I cut one out for Mikey to use on his bronco with a go-cart mechanical caliper But he never used it.

If hydraulic would work use something like this i've seen popping up online lately. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325375288738?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=777008&algo=PERSONAL.TOPIC&ao=1&asc=20240723115851&meid=62e9238279194ca5a0c9d13519a740b5&pid=101952&rk=1&rkt=1&mehot=pp&itm=325375288738&pmt=1&noa=1&pg=4375194&algv=WatchlistVariantWithMLR_BP&_trksid=p4375194.c101952.m162921&_trkparms=parentrq:1b0badae1950a2a76fe6280effffb2a2|pageci:8bccedc9-ee42-11ef-83db-9ef7949d29cc|iid:1|vlpname:vlp_homepage

Mechanical is what I'm thinking. I could swap out a rear caliper for one with the parking brake, but the cables are expensive. Plus this way I can get a stronger brake from the gear multiplication.

I know Wilwood does a small mechanical parking brake caliper, Wilwood so not cheap. They also do an electric parking brake setup as well.

With the differential torque multiplication, I think it should work fine?

Yes that should work perfect. 1/4| max rotor thickness so cut some plate stitch weld it on and run it

That's the one we got for Mikey to run. He may still have it and let you have it to try it out.
