Ernie, check around soem of the local scrap yards. Forklifts use a mechanicl line lock. Easily plumbed and one lever. Apply brakes then move lever to set. Release lever and braks are off. Been using them in the cannery I worked at for over thirty years without a hitch......

I have a cushman truckster that uses this type of emergency brake. Its the first time I've seen something like this. Seems to work really good.
EDIT: I don't think my cushman has hydrilic though. Mine is mechanical.

Just a thought…
Using a line lock braking system would have the main brake pads locked against the rotors. If the braking system was really hot when the car was parked, wouldn’t the hot pads on the hot rotors contribute to warping of the rotors? Not necessarily because of the hot pad against the hot rotor, the normal pad/rotor clearance is very small when the brakes are not engaged, but because of the clamping action of the hot brake pads on the hot rotors and the movement (expansion/contraction) of the hot rotors as they cool?
Cool-down laps at the track cool down the engine, exhaust, and the braking systems. Though admittedly much more severe heat conditions at the track, but more often on the street.

Unique uses the Jag IRS. My Unique came with such an in-line pressure brake. Call Allen at (256) 546-3708 http://www.uniquemotorcars.com/ I am sure he could sell you the parts and tell you how to set it up. No point in re-inventing the wheel, or the wheel brake  |

I am in north County San diego .If you get with me I will help you fix those Jag Calipers. They are actually really easy to get to work properly. |
