That is how the Reliant 3 wheelers are set up  . . |

you may need a means to reduce pressure to the front wheel to prevent locking up.

Yep. Have a good read of the MSVA manual. It is usually best to start a build with MSVA in mind, that way you don't end up having to make changes later on. It's over 200 pages long but most of it will not apply. Welcome to the forum. |

never had a problem with mine locking up but thats not to say you won't. mine has twin discs as well but i guess that might reduce the pressure ? |

There are a lot of options when it comes to brakes. If using a twin disc front, linking one front to the rear brakes and having the other operated from the handlebars is one way to go. If right hand strength is an issue, using a motorcycle, hydraulic clutch master, for the front brakes is another option.
Would be nice to know how you get on with your build.

You may need a valve in the system to hold the pressure on a bit to prevent a lot of pedal travel.
