I was thinking about using a line lock on the front breaks, off one of my old car projects, to lock the front brakes instead of the large round drum they are using for a parking break. If it works well it would save a few pounds, and let me remove that big drum that makes my OCD go nuts every time I think about it under there doing its job.
After some reading, it seems that the parts in a line lock are not rated for constant voltage that will happen if I try to use it as a parking break. There are a few mechanical switches that I may be able to mount in the floor some where if I whish to continue on with this idea.
