i took this photo of my reworked brakes.
The geometry is the same as my Piper Pacer, i moved the pivot point to the bottom
tube and had to put a tube over the cyl shaft with a fitting at top and bottom.
This made the mechanical advantage go from 1 to 1 to about 3 to 1.
PS;
The levers are for rudder trim and retractable landing light.

Scamed from rec.humor.funny.reruns
***************************************************************************************
Origin unknown -- just heard it from a friend.
A fellow walks into a pet store and asks to buy a canary. The
proprietor replies, "I'm fresh out, but I DO have a parakeet."
The customer insists on a canary, until the shop owner informs him
that a parakeet can be made to sound like a canary if one files the
beak just so. "But be careful not to file too much off, or the
parakeet will drown when he goes to take a drink of water."
The potential customer decides that this is complete bullshit, but
thanks the shop owner politely and leaves, sans parakeet. He goes
into another pet shop and asks for a canary -- no luck. "But", says
the shop owner, "I do have a parakeet, and if you file the beak just
so, it can be made to sound just like a canary." He goes on to explain
that filing off too much beak will jeopardize the bird's life, due to
the potential for drowning when he takes a drink.
The fellow finally decides that there is some merit to these claims
and buys the parakeet. "Besides", he thinks to himself, "parakeets
are much cheaper." His next stop is a hardware store, where he wanders
into the file section, holding his recently purchased bird.
The owner wanders by and asks of he needs some help. The new bird
owner sheepishly explains how he intends to make his parakeet sing like
a canary. The hardware store owner knowingly picks up a file and hands
it to him. "Here, a Nichols #2 bastard file. But be careful not to
file too much off, or the poor beastie might drown." The bird and file
owner tanks the hardware store owner and leaves for home.
A few weeks later, the bird owner wanders into the hardware store.
The owner, recognizing him, asks how he made out with the parakeet.
The fellow looks down and sadly reports "Bird's dead". The hardware
store owner shares his sorrow and asks "Filed off too much beak?" To
which the former bird owner replies "Nah, he was dead when I took him
out of the vise."
