Default Beringer parking brake

A spin-off from Walt's thread on the D2 brake kit.
Looking through the Beringer catalog, there is a parking brake valve.

Has anyone installed a hydraulic parking brake in their glider, whether a Beringer, Cleveland, or other system?
That would have been a good mod to put in the ASH26E, where I missed the LS- style heel brakes on run-up.
A good parking brake would be useful for a windy day or uneven ground in any glider.
Hoping to avoid using the harness, pull strap, etc. on the blue handle.
