Grove Parking Brake Valve

[Dick B in KY]

Anyone have info or pics on installing the Grove parking brake valve in the center console area of the Kitfox (mine is a Super Sport)? Interested in clearance with the fuel valve/fuel line and associated plumbing problems, do not have adjustable pedals to contend with.

Thanks,

Hope these help.... We used a C'sink screw in the center console.

Thanks John, a picture IS worth a thousand words.

Looks nice, John, and thanks for the pics.

But, it looks like it may be a 'bleeding' problem with a high loop in the system. Is it actually a problem? I've had problems in the past with air trapped in a high spot in the lines.

I have 2 valves I'm going to install in my KF-C4S,T/W and Avid MK-4S Trike.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,
I’m curious if anyone has installed the Matco parking brake and how it has performed. I ask because it is $130 less than the Grove unit.
