Never seen it but it makes sense being that the rear brakes run off a single line from the master cyl
have you googled it to see if its been done on any other car/truck yet?

I've seen some offroad guys use something similar but it's not electric.

They make a manual valve for this . The line lock coils i have seen are not rated for continuos duty . I had mine on a toggle and a buddies kid unloaded the truck and turned it on with his knee . It only lasted about 10 minutes . I have also seen a ball valve used , but needs to be presssure rated .
