Then pick the "Modifications" tab and look down the list for Mod 65. This will give you the instructions for the first version of the finger brakes using the Jamar twin cylinder master cylinder. Europa have never published the revised version of Mod 65 for the Matco cylinders. If you look in http://www.europa-aircraft.biz/assistance/manuals.php. Then look for CBM 33T (3) you will find a description of the Matco cylinder installation but the assembly diagram on page 5 works badly (the levers bind on the bracket. If you have the Matco cylinders let me know and I will produce a corrected version for you. You will need to cut one spacer and add some washers.
