Kelvin, I was going to use Jag rear calipers as these incorporate a cable actuated handbrake,and look very similar to rangie/disco rear calipers. (May even bolt up)

AT REST
1972 on Ford Falcons fitted with rear disks had the handbrake incorporated into the rear calipers, a bit cheaper than Jag parts and a few more around as well, regards Frank.

SubscriberHydraulic hand brakes are perfectly legal on trailers, whether electric or lever/handle operated
Most hydraulic override trailers have this ability built into the coupling
It's not an ADR or requirement
When the trailer is built/registered to carry over xxxx kg then obviously brake away systems take over with their inherent safeties.

Not sure where you are at with this post.
Electric drum brake assemblies have a cable operated park brake system as do most hydraulic trailer systems, unless it's like my haulmark PT1-1.2 which has dual systems, (hydraulic service brakes and cable operated park brake).
Brakeaway systems are different. The electric brakes have to have an independant battery source on the trailer to hold on the shoes for 15 minutes and the hydraulic or mechanical systems have to have some sort of pressure or spring system to hold them on when inadvertantly disconnected from the tow vehicle.
If interested my Haulmark is fitted with:
Manufacturer: Cebco
Main brakes Type: Caliper Disc Brake with C500 Hydraulic Override Coupling
Park brakes Type: Internal expanding, single shoe drum type brakes.
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
