All,
I installed the catalog parking brake valve on my RV-8 but never
figured
out how to use it. At first I thought that I could use the little
handle
by itself. Unfortunately this dream resulted in an almost serious
accident when the tiny mass of the tiny handle caused it to jiggle
into
the closed position. When this happens the next brake application
locks
the brake. Surprise! At the moment the handle is tie-wrapped into the
open position.
My post is to ask how others have fabricated a linkage to operate it
properly. Simply putting a control cable on it results in reversed
operation, IE pulled out would be off. Any ideas?

How it operates depends on how you mount it and how you mount the
cable clamp. I mounted mine such that pulling the cable closes the
valve such that if the brakes were applied, it maintains the
hydraulic pressure. I used a ratchet style cable so it stays where
you put it.
All that being said, I have only used it a couple of times in 7 years.
