Contacted Grove Aircraft today just to verify the cam position and the relationship with the dimple. The dimple represents the top of the cam, enough said.
Once I had my head around the open and closed position of the parking brake, I marked where the holes should be for the spring plunge. Holes were marked and drilled. I'll finish off priming and paiting he parking brake bracket when I get a couple of longer AN bolts to mount the parking brake to the mount.
With the gear tower modification, the brake line routing changes a little. So, I decided to add fittings to gear towers to make it easier to connect the brake lines to the parking brake, and connect the brake lines from the grove gear to the tower fitting. I set the Grove gear in place earlier and created a new hole for the brake line so that the fitting from the grove gear goes straight up into the gear tower. I'm hoping this will be an easier solution.
I'll be routing the brake lines from the gear tower fitting to the parking brake tomorrow.
