So after visiting a local builder friend. He mentioned that he had a spare Airward park brake holder if I was interested in purchasing. After looking into it and seeing his installation, I decided to go ahead and buy it from him.
The unit is pretty slick. It’s machined from solid aluminum and fits on the standard vans mount on the firewall. Originally it was designed for the RV10 but it fits just fine on the RV7.
I needed to drill out the 8 rivets on the firewall that hold the original brake line bracket.
Now the interesting part. I need to install the included MK nutplates into the back of the mounting plate. Not much room here for any tool I have. However I figured out that my small/slim bucking bar fits just fine. So a couple taps with the mallet and the rivets are set.
