    No,

    But I find that if my drum e-brake doesn't have oil in it, it works quite nicely.

      Along those lines....

      Yeah, I think that a disc-brake would do better than a drum, but as JP said, for a parking brake, do you really need a disc brake? Seems like a lot of cost towards something that's not really broken....


      FWIW....
