Some other mentioned they were looking for a good source for parts on this brake as well.
((These are the parking brakes with the lever next to the shifter. The ones where the band actually cinches down on the drive shaft.))
Well mine started making a ringing rattle at certain rpms....so finally pulled it apart this weekend. The band itself is all one piece and when I took it into Gooch this morning they were very familiar with the unit..(good news)... They say it'll be about a day and just under $100 to take out the old cloth and rivet in new.
Not horrible, so I'll report back when I pick it up.
