Reverse Trike

If you were to build a reverse trike car with the engine in the front and front wheel drive, how would you handle the rear wheel? It needs to have a functioning hydraulic rear brake and a manual parking brake.

Here is what I've come up so far:


By using the rear wheel assembly from the donor car, I can be confident that the brakes and emergency brake will be easy to assemble and I won't run into any problems.
