Grove Aircraft just came out with a new parking brake valve similar to the Cleveland or Matco valve however the control arm can be clocked in 4 positions allowing you to get it so that you can pull the arm from the top to close it. I'm replacing my MAtco Valve with Grove's. Paul Trotter Jeff Preou wrote: > > Various people have done it.

I'll check that out and probably go that way too.
