Hi! Richard.
It came from the US of A, but sorry I can't remember the vendor(I think
Matco?) or the part number but Neville Eyre at the Europa Factory will
advise you, may even sell you one since the trike is now regular supply!
Mine works very well and holds pressure certainly overnight and probably
much longer but haven't tried it longer because always tied down! See
further message just posted about bleeding.

Subject: RE: Europa-List: brake pipe routing
Can you tell me what you used for a hand brake valve & where did you obtain
it?
Thanks.

Hi! Richard.
I wouldn't be without my toe brakes.
The pipes route up and to the port side where there is a hand brake valve
near the naca cold air vent. Then they travel under the port side door sill
to the front of the baggage bay . The Port brake goes out down the main gear
leg whilst the Starboard one travels across the rear tank bulkhead down the
starboard side main gear leg. I have installed unions and adapters where
they pass through the fusilage floor. Then if a pipe fails all you have to
change is the length of the leg.
