I don=99t recall that I had a part number, someone told me they were t
he supplier of the brake and they had the parts so they were able to send me
 what I described as a mono Europa brake.
 They specialize in karts so I suspect the Europa order was unique and utili
zed their kart parts. They may not be producing that brake anymore but hopef
ully they may have the parts still around or have a source they could point y
ou toward.
