Engineering wrapped up .... New batteries (same energy level but about 30% less space and weight now.....) Adding new battery enclosures that are Plug & Play Formatted connectivity: including HV cable connectors, BMS & connectors, and thermal management system. More as we being assembly and build up...

Some changes...... New OXDrive-Power Modules with BMS and thermal control systems going in...... Getting ready to show up at The Quail in August!! Awww. No more black wheels...... Happy to be red again Image Unavailable, Please Login New technology and better batteries and a make over.... Image Unavailable, Please Login Plug & Play Connectivity upgrade...

HA! Blindfolded self driving dare.....:0 - BMS and thermal management on battery pack did not exist prior. Time bomb averted. Rewired to seal battery enclosures per modern standards and waterproof them. No "through pass" wiring using gland nuts etc. All plug and play for modular access and serviceability if needed. Saves @150 lbs in same footprint. Balanced Flywheel. Refresh image.
REall y neat to get to get into this major update project! Battery pack will finally be light and powerful with BMS and thermal management! Upgraded HV plumbing with the highest grade components. Willwood Electric Parking Brake... A big fix here!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login BMS installed within the HVJB.... All new internals as well. Image Unavailable, Please Login Electric GT Custom Lug covers in Red&Black.... Caps and final adjustments pending.... Image Unavailable, Please Login Taking a hard run at a OEM styled shift gate... Reverse is not a "Switch" so we can make this happen with some changes... More to come... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hub has mirror "brake caliper mounting ears" un-used on that side of the hub that were begging for something to do Custom mounting plate.... Image Unavailable, Please Login
You know, i never noticed those extra holes before. Any interest in making and selling another pair of those brackets? My parking brake is completely non-functional, and I've given up trying to make the OEM hardware work... (long story; it's not just a matter of adjusting the cable.)
Console Clean up & major simplification. Back to 3 OEM switches Triple motor monitor gauges and the new Touch Screen Battery management system.... Image Unavailable, Please Login An well hidden.... Seeing as the ebrake will now be a hidden switch tucked under dash.... Image Unavailable, Please Login Water jetted some ridged CF, 3D printed bezel... Image Unavailable, Please Login
+1 -- it should really be called an "electrically-engaged and electrically-released parking brake" as it doesn't use any current when the car is parked. Went to the Wilwood site, but there's not much information about how it works; however, having an ECU in the parking brake system can be a risk . I wonder if you have a dead battery if it can be released?
Most electric parkbrakes work by a motor driving a thread screw to provide a clamp load via the piston.
Quite true. The ones I've serviced have a procedure to release with no battery involvement; I don't know about this particular unit though.
