        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
