ah...is that cause it should be a mechanical back up, rather than relying on the hydraulics?

thanks!

yes, it must be a seperate system in case th hydraulics fail.

Just a thought. Could it not pass if it is completely seperate from hydraulic rear brakes

Don't think so. Concern is that you park up hot, apply handbrake, go shopping and brake fluid cools, contracts and car rolls down a hill and squashes lovable furry bunnies and baby deer.
