Mike, et al,
After following and just now reviewing this thread, I find I'm not
clear as to just what the issues are with the stock Europa XS mono
brake, apart from the substitution of a stick-mounted motorcycle-type
hand grip for the stock, tunnel-mounted, hand brake/master cylinder.
I do understand the desirability of having 2 right hands during run-up
with the stock setup, and consequently, I fashioned a detent for the
hand brake as shown in the attached photo. Whether or not the detent
will hold the brake full-on during runup is not known, but for the
time being I'm hoping it will serve while I progress w/ other more
challenging aspects of my build.
So here's a question...If one were to retain the stock XS mono hand
brake lever and master cylinder, are there issues with the kit-
supplied hydraulic line and its connection to the wheel mounted brake
assembly which warrant substitution using the recently posted banjo
fittings?
