David,  How long is the "throw" at the top of the levers?  My thought being to
lower the brake unit such that the levers only protrude an inch or so above the
level of the console, but if the throw is too long this would make for a very
long "slot" in the console.

I've had a good result with my finger brakes since converting my mono to a 
trigear.
However, the first finger brake levers fitted were too short and the braking
loads on my fingers were too high for comfort. I fitted longer levers and
this has made a big difference. (They are now about 5" from pivot point to the
top of the lever). The only downside to these longer brake levers is that their
handles are now considerably above the handle on the top of the throttle lever
(particularly when the throttle is at idle) which means you have a bit of
a handful when taxying with low rpm. However with a bit of practice it's quite
do-able from whichever seat you sit in.
