After playing around it became obvious 2" is about an inch too much. I need to cut the throw in half. I have some ideas (one I am really excited about). In order to make the test below work I needed to put a lot of slack in it. There is plenty of room to attatch this unit on the underside of the original ebrake mount. I think I can get it pointing directly at the cable mounts.



Since it has built in limit switches I think a bi directional DC toggle switch is the plan. Hold in place until it stops. I would then use a separate 12v and put a proximity sensor on the shaft so when it's retracted and open it sends 12v to the parking brake light on the dash. Will run that trough a relay so it's only on when the car is on. Nothing is a done deal but I am very encouraged so far.
