Staging brake
I'm looking at installing a staging brake prior to Jambo and Warwick for the new engine. The CNC brakes look good but are a bit exy does anyone have
any other options? Feel free to show your set up

Have you already used the handbrake with the ratchet disabled? Cheapest method obviously.

We have found using a steering/turning brake is quite effective for use as a staging brake ( both Chris Bolton and Ben Ford use them ) and as it is a
dual circuit unit , it can also be plumbed to push the lever in the opposite direction also to lock the front wheels for burnout purposes , if you
dont want to install an electric line locker . It would have to be plumbed from a single circuit master cylinder as it only has one inlet fitting and
2 outlet fittings

Been using the good old handbrake method for years, but I have upgraded to a steering brake on the new POS pan.... Mine is a total rip off of how
Ben's setup is rigged on the VWMA car.... Works pretty well for him from what I have seen.... And I kinda like the idea of having some control over
the brakes where you can control the amount of lock you put on.
