The system works just fine but I do have it operating as finger brakes. What you are proposing is the same hydraulically as we have, only leaving the Kart cylinders on the floor instead of the pedestal. If you would like to contact me personally for more information then please call me on 07720985011 or direct to my personal email address pjeffers@talktalk.net Regards Pete Jeffers -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of BobD Sent: 17 August 2017 15:11 Subject: Europa-List: Toe Brakes with Parking Brake Has anyone experience of installing a Parking Brake with the standard Tri-Gear Toe Brakes ? I have read the various 33T documents from the Builders Manual, but only the Finger Brake version mentions the Parking Brake, and I have no wish to convert to the Finger Brakes. I am wondering if something like the MATCO PVPV-D can be used in line between the standard Toe Brake Cylinders and the Wheel Brakes , or if further modifications of the hydraulics system are required ? I have added a diagram from the MATCO website which shows the PVPV_D installed with their vertical brake cylinders, but the comment about their vented reservoir cap being the highest point in the system concerns me, considering that the standard cylinders used on the Europa are horizontal. -------- Bob Dawson XS TG || 912 ULS || G-NHRJ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=471928#471928 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/matco_109.pdf --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:17:06 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Europa Club Members - New Website Goes Live From: "Nigel Graham" Dear All, Im pleased to be able to announce that the Europa Clubs much vaunted new website went live this afternoon. www.theeuropaclub.org We have listened to your criticism and attempted to address your issues.
