What sort of cable/control should I order for my Matco Parking Brake? Vendor?
Where have others terminated it under the panel?
Thanks in advance for replies!
Cheers,
Jay

I got the one from Aircraft Spruce that ratchets and releases with a
quarter turn. I mounted the valve on the firewall, next to the brake
line standoffs. Then routed the cable forward to a sub panel attached to
the main panel and in easy reach of the pilot.

For my parking brake I used the same push pulls that Van's gives you in the kit. I then did some bending and riveting of some aluminum and made some stops for the arm and placed a spring on the arm so it would be in the open position. I then placed a micro switch on the assembly that was attached to a light on my panel. The light is off only if the arm is in the full open position. So far it has worked great.

I like the idea of a parking brake light, I will have to make that mod.
THX for the idea

Lloyd - do U have the numer of the spruce product?
I was also remided that you should make sure that you have a positive release system. If you are flying an land with the brake on - baaaaad things could happen.
