I installed the Matco PVPV-D park brake on the AirWard brake adapter, then temporarily installed the rudder/brake pedals. It became very clear that I was going to have clearance issues if the rudder pedals are full forward. Since I am quite tall (6'-3") I need ever inch I can get.
I am going to have to abandon the plan of installation. I really struggled with what to do now. Do I just go back to the standard Vans installation and not have a park brake. Doing some reading on this, The opinions are divided. Some say no, some say its a must. Its not easy decision to just omit it.
I ran the options with my buddy Mike and we ended up agreeing not to abandon the installation of a park brake. We figured that we can install the AirWard mount, but just up higher on the fire wall. This solves the issue of clearance and gives me the freedom to mount the park brake any way I want. It also gives me (or any future owner) the option to use, or bypass the park brake.
Glad that I have a clear idea of how to proceed. I removed the AirWard adapter, and re-installed the F-6122-1 bracket.
