Hatz Biplane Association

I made the decision to install parking brakes on HC37 using an individual valve for each wheel. The valves are from Wag-Aero p/n D-213-000. http://onlinecatalog.wagaero.com/WebPro ... flx&from=2# I would like input on where to mount the bracket so as not to be in the way yet convenient to activate. I'm thinking the left side of the fuselage and just below the instrument panel sort of tucked away. Ideas and any pictures are welcome.

Regards.

Hi Ebby,
I welded a bracket on a tube under the front seat and used a dual valve. I was lucky enough to find one on Ebay. New, they are expensive. I operate it with an aluminum bar 1/8 x 3/8 that has notches in it that lock into a guide for on and off. I have a spring forcing it into the guide notch so that I must lift it to move it in or out. It wound up a few inches off the floor, but is easy to operate.

I happen to go on Ebay and search for parking brake valves and found a new old stock cleveland valve which has both parking brake valves in one unit. Bracket is made and welded problem solved. Thanks Al.
