This is the Grove brake caliper I am using. It may not be the perfect replacement for the Europa brake but it sure works. I've e-mailed Robby at Grove and asked if he'd like me to send the old Europa brake caliper to see if they have a better replacemen

This pic is a closeup of the starboard side of the master cylinder. The red thing is the screw cap covering the brake fluid reservoir.

Here's a look at the tubing end of the two fittings. Again, similar, but not the same. Can't use the original fitting with the new tubing.

Walked down to the corner of the hanger to the next line of hangers where there is a WC. This is what I saw to the Southeast. Not looking good. Went to the WC and cleaned up. Looked even more threatening after the wash. Decided to close up and go hom
