I would use a Hipster iron VB for that.
Reverse doesn't require engagement of the transbrake and it has a decent release circuit.

We have the TH400 Sportsman Billet aluminumvalve body available. And you still don't have to engage the trans brake to back up.

And as jake has showed you cant beat billet.

here's a link to the FTI TH400 Billet Sportsman Transbrake valvebody.

I didn't know you had one that didn't require the brake to be activated.
