Jim K at Applied GMC sells one that looks a lot like this, and about the same price.

Looks like good quality,, but looked like a fair amount of install time (and we were VERY preoccupied with other jobs
at the time), so we didn’t go with this one...
But now that the dust has settled, i’m curious about the manual Brake Lock options out there
(not electric, and quite a bit less expensive?).
I’d imagine that the lines for one of those units could be plumbed right up through the hole
where the old parking brake was mounted?
But one main question would be how securely would the unit need to be mounted?
For example, how much finger/hand pressure is required to lock and unlock?
We wouldn’t want to be busting brake lines while twisting the thing, hmmmm…
