Default Snowmobile brake conversion

So since the roads are covered with snow the snowmobiles are out and the bikes are parked..a few years ago a guy we ride with lost his left arm in a farming accident from his elbow down..he is able to ride but the brake is on the left side on sleds and he can engage it but with no feeling he often forgets to release it..we have been tossing around ideas on how to convert the sled to have a brake on both sides, left for him and right for anyone else who may ride..a few ideas and questions are:

1. can we T into the line with an atv/bike lever?
2. if we T into the line will we have to run two master cylinders?
3. run something similar to a hand brake set up like stunters do..no idea how that works so any info would be great

any other thought would be great for those who also snowmobile the sled is a 2005 ski-doo 800ho renegade with SS lines if that matters...for the atv lever we looked at getting one from a ds650
