    Looks great.
    What cable did you use.

    It's a custom made cable from Instrument Sales and Service. They make CableCraft cables. It takes some planning to get it right the first time, but I was pleased with the results.

    You've had a couple of months to live with this installation now, so I'm curious how well it's working and how much torture testing it's had as of yet.

    Anything new to report?

    Works great! I've used it a few times on the trail with great results. I use it quite often when I back out of my garage and park while I get the engine warm or close the garage door.
    This has been one of my favorite upgrades/mods so far.

    I might have to try this with mine. I was going to just go without the parking brake, but I like the look of what you've done. If it's still holding up well, it's definitely on my list of possibilities. Thanks!

    Revival from the past! Would you be willing to share the .dwg file for the rotor? I'm rebuilding my D18 and have planned this mod for a long time but haven't made it happen. Now is the time!

    You bet...I just have to find it. I will send you a private message once I figure out where the file is hiding.
