I think I have the older model, have to look in the AC. I haven't fabricated a linkage for it, have just been using the lever. It seems that some hard landings can move the lever and give surprise braking. It looks like the new one allows the lever to be moved around. The reason for my not putting on a proper linkage is that the lever was moving opposite to a convenient cable hook up, I.E. would require a pull to release the brakes. I think that the next project is to put on the new valve and a cable. thanks again regards Jim Bean RV-8 N99JA 81110 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:35:45 PM PST US From: "Ralph E.

Put it on your side of the cabin so mate doesn't think it's for heat. You can use the outer cable as the stop on one end and set the other end to be brakes released when the knob is full forward.
