Brief Description:  Parking Brake #3

With AN hardware in hand from Lane Aviation and a couple of brass fittings from the Gahanna Hardware store, I'm ready to get back onto the parking brake modification.
-Transfered the rivet holes from the stock brake line bracket to the new bracket
-Drilled the hole #30 and countersunk
-Located the holes for the valve to install on the newly fabricated bracket.
-Drilled the holes with gradually larger bit starting with #30 and going up to 19/32.
-Test fit and had to move up the hole diameters on fractional bit size to keep alignment - I didn't get the holes perfect.
-Cleaned and primed.
This took much longer than it should have, but I think this design is going to work great.
