Here's my cheap and cheerful solution, though I probably need less braking power with the reverse gearbox, I start in neutral, so there's no added push from the transmission.
The handbrake lever is from an original Mini, the only adjustment needed was to flatten out the right angle bend in the mounting bracket, and drill a new mounting bracket hole.

A small twisted bracket was attached to the rear mounting point, this hold the outer sleeve of a brake cable, and has a hole for the cable to pass through, and fit into the handbrake lever.

At the other end there's a bike brake caliper attached to the frame of the cyclekart, it's enough to hold the cyclekart from rolling away.
