Hi! Peter.
My messages refer to TRIKES where there are two TOE brake cylinders.Ratchets
are the last thing you want there .... too far to reach.

Just wondering  - would it not be simpler/lighter to just add a ratchet-type
latch or safetied gate on the brake lever instead of a hydraulic lock?  I
believe Marting Tuck may even have used a simple removable wedge in the gate
for the parking brake.

Cheers,
