Pilot Operated Check Valve
I'm looking for a small, brake fluid compatable, pilot operated check valve/shuttle valve.
Does anybody know of a factory type or can think of a valve that could be modified to achieve the same result?

That has been thought of, but i'm trying to achieve a hydraulic parking brake that is independant of the main brakes and doesn't rely on any external power supply. I know it takes bugger all power, but I still want it to be battery free. I may still end uo using a electric shut off valve. A solenoid operated directional control valve (DCV) may also do the job.

If it is used in an automotive application, I dont think it will be considered roadworthy.
If you are planning to alter brakes in an aeronautical application (Pilot Operated).., I dont think CASA would be impressed either

Hydraulic handbrakes are not permitted unless you have both a hydraulic & mechanical handbrake. Some rally cars have both to be registerable.
Burkett sell all types of electric solenoid valves. Ask if they have a brake fluid compatible seal.
