There is at least one track in my area that will throw you out of the foot brake class if you have your line lock on a button. Their rule is toggle switch only. (NO PUSH BUTTONS)

You can buy a spst(single pole single throw) toggle switch with momentary contacts

It's not a push button

You can get creative with a monetary. I've wired them too horn buttons, rim blow wheels, blinkers, dimmers, brake lights(on a one time release). Switches under the carpet only you know where they are. and on and on.

I know a guy that had that exact setup in his Dart for years. Never heard of it being an issue. Not sure if he still has it or not. I'm sure it will work for what you're doing just fine. Don't let the haters ruin your day. I run a line lick turned backwards like described above to lock out the back brakes; I prefer having control of the brake pressure while on the throttle. Great looking Charger by the way.

That is exactly how I am gonna do my LL and TB. Cover open, switch "on" and the device is actuated, close cover (shuts switch), device inactivated. The switches/covers will be behind the shifter.

Here is how I run mine. Toggle switch powers up the red momentary button on the shifter to lock the front brakes. You gotta be pretty deliberate to [censored] it up.
