"Parking brake" for 1994 Max II?

<whew the forum is back, awesome!>

I noticed in the Max II manual there are references to parking/auxiliary brake, and how to set it. My Max II does not have any mechanism there, so this was always a curiosity to me. While the site was down, I did find one photo elsewhere that showed a flip-down/up rack-style rail, where you push down the brake with your foot and then jam the rack in somehow to keep the brake depressed.

Is this part available somewhere, or perhaps someone can help me out with some good photos of it so I can make one at my friend's machine shop?

I have the older drum style brakes btw. I wish they held better, maybe I need to work on them before I complain though.

I updated this thread just now. Thoughts?

This is something I'm interested in as well. I bought a new-to-me Max IV. The brake pedal is high off the floor. I need a way to lower it so I can mash it with my foot and find a way to lock it as well.
