I did ask the factory if I could 'do my own thing' and install my own finger
brakes. They told me that this would be considered a mod and I would have
to apply to the PFA. However, they are due shortly(!) to produce a
conversion kit themselves which already has approval. It may be that you
could use the factory mod as a means to obtain approval for your own.
If anyone else has obtained approval for such a mod, I would also be
interested to hear.

Hi Team
Our inspector has queried our braking system for the tri-gear.
We have copied the principle of the G-KITZ demonstrator with a pair of hand
brake levers on the centre console, using the factory master cylinders. This
has the advantage of allowing control from both seats.
However we have not applied for any modification from the PFA. Our inspector
wants to see some formal paperwork.
Has anyone else done this ? If so have you any formal mod ? I would much
appreciate any advice, it would be crazy to re-create the wheel here !
TIA
Richard
