Subject:Brake modifications?

Hi All,
I'm hoping some of you have had a whole Subaru & not
just the engine at some point. I've had 5 before
moving up in size to the Vanagon Syncro. The Subarus
have, or at least used to have, a feature called "the
hill- holder clutch".

It is just a pressure valve of sorts that is
integrated into the brake lines, so that the brakes
remain applied as long as you hold the clutch in. It
is a great thing on a steep hill, like using your
e-brake only better. I have been wondering if it is
possible to use this part, with whatever else is
connected to the clutch pedal, on a Vanagon? Has
anyone else thought about this? It would be great here
in Seattle with the hills, but also offroad.

Just curious what y'all think........
Thanks,
