thanks in advance,andy
Just a suggestion but Citroen BX handbrake is via the front calipers and would be a solution.
An adjustable bias valve (about 40 quid) for the brakes could be set and then rendered tamper proof for the test, very handy afterwards for altering bias for different road conditions with a lightweight car.
