I had seen quite a few Europa,s with finger brakes
adapted from the old foot brakes.
I acquired ideas and plans from another Europa builder
and set about modifying the components to install them in the central
tunnel.
I also incorporated a parking brake that is exactly the
same as the unit supplied by Europa. This unit is manufactured by Matco
and was supplied by aircraft spruce p/n 06 -17200.
The finger brakes are positioned to the right of the
throttle box and the parking brake is to the left of the throttle box.
Tony helped out manufacturing the alloy handles and
parking brake lever. At some time in the future the finger brake levers
will probably want extending.
Images below show the control setup and the controls
viewed through the central tunnel.
