Hi All,
I still get a lot of requests for information about mods & service
bulletins. They are all posted on the Builder Support section of the Europa
web site.
See:

Happy Building & Flying!

I am currently using the original brake master cylinders in the centre
console. Originally it was set up using two "Mono" brake levers, but that
didn't provide enough leverage. Now it has a trigear -foot-pedal level (not
straight) on the end of the straight mono levers.
It works well enough, but takes quite a big pull. As the platform inside was
set up for the mono levers the two bolts joining the levels together are
above the top of the console.
I am planning to use the Mod 65 dual master cylinder and have had permission
now to combine my original mod platform with the mod 65 master cylinders.
The levers for that will be an experiment when I see what I get when I buy
them !
I can measure it all up for you if you want.
