I don't know how to explain this without a pic but I'll try. It will be easy and cheap. I get this idea from the tractors I have. This is used during shipping to lock the hydrolic brakes. Off one side of the brake pedal you will weld a 5/16" diameter round stock appx. 1/2" - 3/4". Then you will have a piece of 1/8" thick 1 1/4" wide and length to be determined with 3-4 angled slots cut into it. On the bottom a hole for a pivot point, mount for pivot to be determined. While driving the lever just lays on the floor but when applying the brake to hold the buggy depress the pedal then swing the lever up locking the 5/16" stub into one of the slots. The several slots will compensate for when the brakes wear and pedal is pushed further. Hopefully you can get the idea.
