first off I'll say that I admire your fab skills..

but I'm going to have to strongly disagree with this hydraulic 'line-lock' parking brake idea..

this runs afoul of just about every alphabet-agency safety reg but furthermore, it's just an outright bad idea..

there's good reason eom's use mechanical systems for this function..

if you've already ran through this debate, I'll let it go with having spoke my piece..

if you're genuinely not away of the safety reasons, I'll be glad to share..

good luck!
