Where and how, on what car are you intending to use this caliper?

My cars have the original, so at this point I am not.
But i have been considering options. And its seems this could work.

Yes, certainly could be used as a parking brake but the Elan rear upright casting only has mounting lugs for one caliper so how would you mount it?

He’d have to mount it to the existing calliper like the current setup… or have an additional bracket under the existing calliper bolts to mount the wilwood handbrake calliper in a similar position. Or…?
