MATCO Parking Brake Bracket via 3D Print
For my 750 Cruzer, I wanted to install a secure parking brake system. I ordered the MATCO PVPV-D Parking Brake valves from Aircraft Spruce.
When I received the assembly, I was surprised to find that it had no mounting system. So, I put on my thinking hat and used Onshape to design a housing. Came out really good. Photos are attached. As is the brake bracket(1).stl file if anyone wants to print their own.The first picture showing the housing in front of the valve was before a final modification that slotted the area for the valve arm, as shown in the second picture.
