rally cars use them you just pull it up to put the handbrake on and let it go to release it, DIY option just put some tape over the button works the same

propper hydraulic "fly off's" are connected in line to the rear brakes, so as you pull the lever towards you it will lock the rears while turning

How did you go about "plumbing it in" David? Will you need some kind of pipe adaptor? Just curious really.

my brake lines are fully braded from my KAD bias pedal box, so this is just in the line to the rear

but you can use custom copper lines with the correct unions simply plumbed in
