The inspection for uses the term "Parking Brake" but what they really want to be installed is an Emergency brake. The requirement is for you to be able to stop your vehicle in an emergency situation if your primary hydraulic brake system failed. What is installed on the newer Defenders is a manual foot pedal brake lock......basically a very simple parking brake. It does not qualify as what the state is looking for in an emergency brake. Any person telling you that the inspector will accept it is 100% wrong. It is not a separate system and will not allow you to stop the vehicle while in motion if your primary system fails.

I think it is the spot for a plow control. I have seen them in that location.

What hand/cable brake did you install? If you had it installed, where and how much? Any picures?
