Put a lineLock on front brakes with an on/off switch, that will fool them.

Best of luck getting the emergency brakes sorted for the inspection

That is one of several advantages of having an "antique" license plate registration in Louisiana.
No "brake tag" or inspection sticker required...ever.

Agree - it's the same in Pennsylvania. With an antique tag there is never a need for an inspection.

Now I'm not complaining in the least, but it does make some sense to require an inspection after a restoration or when you acquire a car at least. These cars don't drive much, but one with bad brakes could cause an accident as well as any other car.

Same in Sweden also, when a car turns 50 years you'll never need to do an inspection again, I just need to do one now since it's a newly registrered car. But with that said, I believe it would be a good idea to have a more simple mandatory check, brakes, lights, just the basic stuff to make sure cars are roadworthy and not dangerous.

I think I sorted out the em.brake.
I contributed to this issue by myself I believe.. I wanted the fuel and brake lines neatly running along the frame rail snd raised the em.brake bracket to run lines underneath. I should have done a sturdier bracket. What I did now was a bolted support bracket. Now it's dead solid with zero flex. Much better brakes now, hope it's enough for the inspection!
Anyhow, it gave me an excuse to buy a new tool, a popnut set!

Nice fabrication work!

I have two different sets of those. Can cover US up to 3/8" and metric to 10mm. Sometime down the road I want to invest in these tools from Hammerfab. Pretty cool.

I'm eager to get the custom "528 hemi" RT-stripe done but does anyone have a RT-stripe file for printing? Format should be either ".eps" or ".ai". The stripe has a bend in it that's difficult to calculate.
