I did mine exactly like Rudi, very easy addition, and to me very necessary..

Van's tow bar.

Van's collapsible RV-12 tow bar also serves as a parking brake, rudder lock, and aileron lock. Use your seat belt and you also have an elevator lock.

Maybe it's just the way I drilled the holes for the detent balls, but mine won't reliably lock the brakes.

You have a second change when you drill a hole on the other side of the "pipes with the hook". I initially had no pressure on the pedals, I gave the other hole a 1/2" extra.

Don do you have photos and how did you hook up the lever and what is the model number.

I just used a standard cable from Aircraft Spruce, the brake unit is a Matco brand, see it here: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/matcoPBVALVE.php?clickkey=8314.
