hydraulic handbrake kit including master cylinder, pipes, splice into the rear brake lines, you need the hydraulic handbrake to run in tandem with the cable operated handbrake for MOT. Your center diff won't be very impressed with locking the rears though, unless you plan on doing on slippery surfaces like gravel.

Default handbrake

so if i basically buy a kit with handbrake and mastercylinder, all i have to do is run original rear brake lines to hand brake cylinder and then from it to rear brake ans handbrake will only activate brakes on application and cylinder will just act as though normal brake line until h/brake is used wich will then activate brakes. does that sound about right also running dccd and plan to fit neetronics system so that should eliminate any diff probs as i believe it allows for usage of h/bake and compansates locking off rear diff again i think

yes thats about it.

a dccd equipped scoob should be ok, as is supposedly goes open when the standard handbrake is pulled, so as long as the neetronic system is connected to the hydraulic handbrake, as well as the original handbrake, i would have thought it would be ok, best to seek proffesional advice though
