Parking brake - Final solution
So what I needed to make this work in both directions is hard stop on release. I took some measurements and ended up replicating my pull solution to fix my push problem.
The brackets I ordered came in a 6 pack so I have spares

This creates a hard stop that allows it to work as designed both directions. If I need to tighten the brake I simply turn the pot counter clockwise and increase the current limit.

I will add a physical or magnetic switch when I get to the wiring that will carry another 12v signal that will light the dash. It will either be NO or NC and send 12v to the dash when the brake is engaged. I do not expect this to be expensive.
So a rough tally of what I have in the mod. Prices to not include tax.
Actuator= $40
Clevis = $36
Over current board = $12 (spring was $15 if you went that route)
L brackets = $20
Switch = $8
The various hardware I had laying around from my last build, but if you didn't have it probably another $10 at the hardware store.
R&D costs are sunk so I am not counting that. That is a functional electronic parking brake for under $120. I expect the switch to cost no more than $20.
Not bad.
