David Hi!
I fitted the original Matco Foot Brake cylinders to Trigear G-FIZY I built.
I fabricated a bracket, ensured there was a removable panel above the bleed
screws and it worked well. My only recommendation would be to ensure levers
are long enough, probably about 9=B2 but just as important is to ensure knob
or handle ends are big enough for a good grip or action. There was a
requirement to ensure correct rubber seals were used for different brake
fluids. I used the =8Cred=B9 Dot 5....I think! Europa supplied the rubbers.
Photos attached. The Brake Levers in photo proved too short (action
difficult) so were extended by about 4=B2.
Regards
Gerry
