Perhaps Stoptech builds one for our car since they offer it for other vehicles with a similar e-brake configuration?

I am intrigued by this question as well. I haven't seen any great solutions. The one in the above picture with the aluminum hat/drum
may actually work for an emergency stop, ONCE. After that you will probably need a new rotor and possible some new brake shoes and/or other parts if the aluminum has melted. Good luck trying to drive home if the shoes fuse to the drums.
