Handbrake query

Can someone confirm for me that I'm understanding this correctly.

I've just been reading the SVA manual and I think I understand it but would just like to check. My understanding is that the handbrake system has to be cable operated and cannot be hydrolic. Is that correct?

Correct. No solely hydraulic actuation.

i think I heard the rules are changing lately due to some OE manufacturers fitting them as standard.

I agree with the above, no hydraulic only handbrakes..........................................which with my engineers hat on is faintly stupid!!!!! Why do we trust a steel cable implicitly with our lives when we don't trust a pipe full of fluid............has the world gone mad??

Come to that, have you ever tried to stop a car from speed with the handbrake............I would be too busy aiming the car at something soft at that point rather than faffing with the crappy handbrake!!
