Gary,i have heard that a few times now.I think the line lock is a not a good 
option,whereas the linear motor looks like the best way to go if removing a 
mechanical lever.

I had a line lock on mine before I started restoration. The line lock 
was ok for getting mail, changing drivers, etc. Anything longer and the 
line lock would bleed off. Not acceptable for parking brake.
