    Default Grove Parking Brake Valve

    Anyone have info or pics on installing the Grove parking brake valve in the center console area of the Kitfox (mine is a Super Sport)? Interested in clearance with the fuel valve/fuel line and associated plumbing problems, do not have adjustable pedals to contend with.

    Thanks,

    Dick B

    Hope these help.... We used a C'sink screw in the center console.

    Looks nice, John, and thanks for the pics.

    But, it looks like it may be a 'bleeding' problem with a high loop in the system. Is it actually a problem? I've had problems in the past with air trapped in a high spot in the lines.

    I have 2 valves I'm going to install in my KF-C4S,T/W and Avid MK-4S Trike.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Hi,
    I’m curious if anyone has installed the Matco parking brake and how it has performed. I ask because it is $130 less than the Grove unit.
