We made a brace to mount on the bottom of the baggage floor and attach to the same bulkheads and braces as the floor. We did this after the fact. (everything already installed) Worked well only we had to change the lengths of the brake lines because there connection points moved several inches.

I planned to put my Matco parking brake valve in similar to Kevin's, but
as Kevin mentioned, the direction of the control cable would be
backwards if the cable came from the top as it would pretty much have
to. Grove Aircraft just came out with a new parking brake valve similar
to the Cleveland or Matco valve however the control arm can be clocked
in 4 positions allowing you to get it so that you can pull the arm from
the top to close it. I'm replacing my MAtco Valve with Grove's.

Hey thanks for that Paul. I'll check that out and probably go that way
too. Glad I didn't buy the Matco now...
