Hi JR,
I can testify that a wedge in the hand brake slot works well. I have
used one for my plane since I first flew it 8 years ago. Nothing to go
wrong and it is a completely reliable parking brake.
Cheers, John,

Bob It used to be said that you have a tethered wedge to drop into the
space vacated when you apply the brake and this will hold the pressure.

Ron, Just a 30 degree wedge of aluminium or suitable plastic, thick enough
to more or less fill the slot, and about 2 - 2.5 ins long works well, and as
a refinement drill a hole in the fat end and put a large key ring through
it, which stops it going down the slot, if your brake gets that loose (which
of course it shouldn't!), serves to hang it over the brake handle when not
in use, and acts as a loop to put your finger in to pull it out of the slot
when taking off the 'handbrake'
