If it's just the parking brake, eliminate it with a block off kit.

I second that! E-brakes are worthless. They don't even work.

Here is one. There are actually cheaper ones for like $8-9 but just to give you an idea. This was the quickest one I could find. Its pretty much a 1/2-3/4 inch plate that blocks the hole from removing your parking brake. Then you can remove the line associated with it and even get a new clutch lever that you will find very nice also.
