We fitted a simple pull hand brake to our offset single seater, but there's no reason why a bracket to suit a fly-off handbrake couldn't be made / adapted.
The hand brake was positioned on the chassis rail where it was most comfortable to reach it - It actuates the cross shaft via a short linkage as can be seen in the picture below. It moves fore & aft with the brake pedal as it's linked to the cross shaft. We modified the ends of the cross shaft to take rod rears instead of cables and Dad re-made a Bowdenex conversion for the fronts. The hand brake came out of the parts bin as we re-purposed a lot of stuff.
