has anyone ever????

used a rear coaster brake wheel on the front and ran a cable to the sprocket to yank it and stop? I've been kicking around the idea and haven't figured out why it won't work. (i know i have to attach the arm) I've come to realize that about 96% of my original ideas aren't original so if anyone has done this let me know.....or if anyone knows why it won't work let me know that also.....thanks

apparently it's not quite as simple as it seems, but thank goodness for bikebuilder's pictorial instructions the bit about it having to reset itself confused me, but he was kind enough to answer in detail. i still haven't done it cuz i can't fabricate and weld, but i intend to get it done soon somehow.
