170 - Fixing the parking brake

Hi Simmers Everywhere !
As I commence (albeit slowly) the dis-assembly of my sim, I thought I would take the opportunity to fix my parking brake that needed a little TLC.
Hope you find this of benefit if you are doing one yourself and happy to do a more deeper dive into this if I get enough requests.

Beautiful clean work mate as always love the content greta stuff happy simming!

[@CessSim]

cheers buddy. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks again.

Nice work as always! I need to get me a 3d printer.

[@CessSim]

Cheers buddy. Yes as a cockpit, having a 3D printer is a great investment IMO. Mine has certainly paid for itself...

Nice, I’m always impressed with how you approach problems and come up with fixes. You look like you’ve got some sort of engineering background.
You’ve probably mentioned this in another video and I’ve forgotten, but how do you connect your hardware with the sim? I’m using Arduinos which connect to the sim via Mobiflight which works quite well.

Hi mate and thanks for tuning in. I actually have a combination of Leo Bodnar boards and Arduino Mega (used for the standby gauges). Yes do have some engineering background with my tertiary training in mechanical engineering (albeit many years ago !!)........

Hasn't Freja moved in yet?

[@CessSim]

need some time between Xmas and New Year. Going to take a few days to break it all down and re-assemble. Bloody pain in the proverbial !! Hope all well with you mate and looking forward to the virtual.............
