Message	I didn't want to lose the convenience of having one while trailering the car and loading/unloading. A line lock would weigh less, but I still think an ebrake is more convenient. Removing the driveshaft without the ebrake also becomes a two person job. Miles, aren't you going to drive this on the street at times? If so, won't you need the ebrake to pass an inspection?
