Just found this board yesterday. I'll be going up to East TX to pick up a buggy I bought. My son's friend has had a run of heart problems, and decided to let his buggy go. I had my son pick it up last week, and will head up Thursday to tow it back Saturday. From what I know, it is a Manx body on a 65 Beetle chassis. Motor and transaxle have been rebuilt, and disc brakes all around. Needs a paint job.
It is currently sporting an Antique plate. I would prefer to have it inspected, and go with regular plates. I plan to use it on the beach on Mustang Island and maybe PINS. Gotta put some rod holders on the front bumper.
Here is the issue....no emergency brake. Only a valve to lock all four disc brakes. It is my understanding this will not make it on inspection. Any tips on my best options to add an emergency brake?
