Why? because if you loose you brakes in an emergency that dinky system is just gonna fry and fail under hard load.

Yeah, actually the "E" Brake name was used when we all had drums on the rear. This basically just added a mechanical actuation method to the existing hydraulic brake package. Therefore you had equally poor (lol) braking on the rear either hydraulically or mechanically in the case of a hydraulic failure.
Looks great Steve. Did David do a solvent test on the back side to see how well the new finish stands up to cleaning? That looks like a great improvement.
