First and foremost it needs to be a momentary contact switch.

I have a coiled cord on mine that is run up where the e-brake handle is. I have the last 6-8" of the cord covered with a piece of hose with the button coming out the end. It allows me to pull up on the wire/hose to access the switch, but tuck it down when not needed.

Good luck,
Jeff

Rear Brake pressure??? I use my line lock to hold the Front Brakes for burn-outs and stops on steep inclines (hill holder).
