Is builder David Ward on this list?  I see Vans has added a parking brake kit to the accessories catalog.  According to the description, the kit was developed by him.  Can someone tell me what is in this kit that they are charging $179? The text says "Everything is included except for the valve (BRAKE PARKING PV-1), and a CT A-740 type cable to operate the valve."

This is my setup.  

http://wcurtis.nerv10.com/08fuselage/fuselage38o.html



Total cost WITHOUT the PV-1 ($107.95) and T handle cable from Spruce for $17.90, about $8.

1 - F-1048; included

2  - K1000-3 = 1.36

2 - AN3-11A = $0.36

4 - AN816-4D = $5.44



The total for my setup is $134, including the PV-1 and T handle cable.

do not know what is included but the only things required are the matco

parking brake valve (PV1) and the cable and a couple of adel clamps. Of

course you have to fabricate a bracket from some scrap aluminum. $180

without the cable and valve is BAB (beyond all belief)

If you're like me - devastated and losing sleep because I forgot about the parking brake until after I had already installed the complete brake system according to the plans - the David Ward adapter kit from Van's is FANTASTIC!.  Simply drill out eight rivets (i.e. remove the bracket that mounts the AN brake fittings to the firewall) and rivet this beautifully machined anodized bracket in the same holes.  No drilling through stainless steel.   All countersinking already done and nutplates already installed.  It comes with all the right fittings and hardware with no trial and error, and no research required, and no modification to my brake lines that I proudly fabricated exactly per plans.  Well worth the price IMHO. I did miss out on the satisfaction of solving the parking brake challenge on my own.    



Kudos to David Ward, whoever and where ever you are!

This was asked a while ago by william and he was asking how it can justify 

so much money when one can do the same thing for far less.

No disagreement that a parking brake is needed, and doing it oneself can be 

accomplished  for far less without major work.
