2003 Ranger edge 3.0l manual brake line lock install

I want to add a line lock to the rear brake line on my 2003 ranger and use it as a Parking brake. Anyone done this ? I have aftermarket disc brakes on the rear now, without parking brakes. I was looking at pulling off the Rear brake line from the ABS, and buying a new short section of brake line, running that the line lock, and out of the LL back to the original brake line. Ive done these before and fitting sizes are always difficult to determine. Anyone know what the ABD block outlet line fitting is ? Looks like there is a NPT to brake line there too . Any input is appreciated.
thanks

later

People have done similar for "hill brake lock" for off roading, generally for manual transmission models

Not sure on fitting size, yes most brake fittings are tapered to seal better, so NPT, 3/8th 24 thread rings a bell
