Glen,

Contact M. Bastien at Mdoaircraft@aol.com

M. Bastien is French operates from Biarritz I think.  His Brake 
Caliper/master cylinder is first class, with built in handbrake.  I am very 
pleased with it.  Ivan Shaw flew with the system installed, and he thought 
it was excellent.  They are not cheap though.

regards,

M Parkin (GJULZ)
