This is the RV-10 subforum. But nobody seems to pay attention to that.

Yeah! And get off his lawn too! lol

I installed the Matco parking brake on my RV-8 available from ACS. It was a simple modification, I mounted it between the AN fittings that secure in the F-866D Mounting Plate and the F-8105 Brake Hose. I fabricated a mount for it out of some spare angle stock. The hardest part was deciding where to put the control knob. In my case, I decided to put it on the aft bulkhead of the left LG Box, just ahead of the throttle quadrant.

I did the same approach on the RV-10 and RV-8 except I do not add the cable. It is easy to just reach under the panel and directly operate the valve lever.
