Your Brakes will work just fine without any of the E Brake components as stated. I’m with jayoldschool. Maybe because I have had to use my Emergency Brake in times past. First time was my first 66. I had a line blowout with the single master cylinder. E brake kept me from having a major accident. It was a close one. I was sitting a few inches higher in the seat after if you know what I mean. The other times it has been to keep the vehicle from rolling while changing a rear flat tire. Chances are you might never need it. Then again it is called EMERGENCY BRAKE for a reason. I do know it won’t pass a safety inspection where I am without it.
