I contacted E-STOPP and they don't do direct group buys, but said if one of their vendors offered one they may have a potential cost savings...
I'd like to not install my manual hand-brake (heresy?) if possible but also save a few bucks on the rather pricey E-STOPP setup too!

MOD EDIT (see below):
1. are any vendors selling this?
2. if so, would you be interested in doing a group buy?
Toadster, you're stepping on some rules here, I'm sure unintentionally.
I'm posting this as a clarification of our rules, in case anyone is wondering: Group buys on this site are through vendors ONLY. The Kosher way to go about this is to find a vendor first, or post looking for a vendor who sells this product. Then contact the vendor to see if they want to do a group buy. If they are interested, THEN have them post (or you post with their permission) a thread looking for interested folks to join in a group buy.
EDIT: Rather than lose this thread Toadster, I'm editing your post so you can still continue your quest, but in the proper way.
:)
Thanks David for the reminder, I figured this may be easier than reaching out to each vendor individually - you can remove if needed.Quote:

Sorry, I don't get it. You just asked about spending an extra $3000 for a Gen3 Aluminator, but you want a group buy to save $20 on electric brake? I really am confused about the thought process :confused:
LOL I asked if it was worth it - and depending on usage, yes! Rich you are always good for a good ribbing!
Not to change the subject, but have you seen the Wilwood electronic parking brake? I haven’t researched it to see if it fits ours but it looks promising.
yes but at $1,100 it's 2x the price of the ESTOPP, sure there are no cables - but dang that's spendy for sitting still! I still shake my head thinking of a $500 parking brake!Quote:

Well then it’s your $500 decision... It’s kind of like when one of my wife’s clients was constantly griping about her husband; Nancy finally told her “Well, you picked him” ;)

LOL at giving someone a hard time over an "unnecessary expense". Building one of these cars is one giant unnecessary expense.
Ok John that's it, no more practical snide remarks from you. :pQuote:
