One more thing on the band brake, and another reason it won't work on the right side. These brakes are designed to be self energizing. This means that when the band is brought in contact with the drum, the rotation of the drum helps to assist in the application of the brake. On the right side, the drum rotation would fight brake application rather than assist.
