I got my nifty Matco parking brake dodad recently, but it didn't come with a

mounting bracket. Anyone else have tips on how to mount this puppy? I'm close

to riveting on my fuse skins and would like to get this done before access

becomes an issue.



Thanks in advance for responding...



Cheers,

Jay

Here is one I built.  Needed to be a little longer so the cable sheath would

have something to secure to.  Would also make the base and doublers a little

bigger so all the holes in the fire wall would be covered.

Here's a link to a couple of pics on how some of us have done it. I 

can't remember the part #, but if you are not using a carburated engine 

there is an extra part that can be adapted to serve as the mount.

Look at this page. I used the same part as Deems. I believe it is used to

mount a Facet fuel pump, but is not used if injected.  The bracket for the

cable I made from scrap. Picture is about half way down the page.

Looks really nice!  How are you making a positive stop on both ends?

Adjust the arm so when knob is in all the way, valve is open. When knob is

pulled out, arm will contact the end of the cable sheath. I don't think you

need any more positive than that.

Is a parking brake required?  Necessary?  Opinions?

It's not required or needed until your away from your home airport and 

the only parking in transient hard surface has a slight grade to it, and 

you're the only occupant.

If you fly into Bullhead Laughlin and go to the lower GA ramp you do....makes life a bunch easier by yourself to keep the airplane from rolling while you get out and chock it and tie it down...you DO tie it down right???

So, I have to put in those little rings, too?  



Ok, enough of this.  There was a discussion at some point about the PITA of

the parking break, especially sticking parking breaks.  I've actually never

had to use a parking break, other than making double sure the breaks were on

during run-up, and, given the little brain, did not think of the obvious.

Just place the transmission in Park and Forget-about-it.  It only

matters in San Francisco.

It is so we can roll start it and pop the clutch!

"Park" would mean that it's an automatic, no clutch so ya gotta push it to 

45 MPH to get it to turn over & start. (from a very old joke)
