[alfa] hydraulic handbrakes

["Benjamin Woenig" <budweiser@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems to be common practice for race-preped cars to have a hydraulic
handbrake fitted. I know of someone that has installed one in a
Alfasud Sprint race car using a girling master cylinder without a
resovior,
but he mentioned that he installed some other valve to make it only work
on
the rear wheels, but this wasn't a brake bias valve. It some how
disconnected
the front calipers and only operated the rears. Can anyone ellaborate on
this?

Also, are there any legalities with regard to using hydraulic handbrakes
in Australia? It seems they are illegal in some countries, in particular
the
UK where it will definitely fail the MOT.
