Exactly what do you have and what do you need?  I have lots of extra Kitfox parts and pedals - Donno if same as Avid Mk4.  Photos really help.  EDMO

FYI the brake pedals on a kitfox 4-1050 are "back to front"to those used on a 4-1200.The geometry was changed which required a reversal of pedals.

I've got an assortment of Kitfox pedals that should fit, or be close to fitting, your bird.   I think C5Engineer or someone posted photos of an improved pedal that one of our members makes.   I have one set of Cessna 150 pedals that I planned to use on mine, and I may have another set for sale.  I cant tell what Master Cylinders you have - Could be Matco MC-1 or MC-5.  George at Matco can tell you if you can use them for dual brakes.  I have other MCs.  EDMO

Those are Matco MC-1's.  Out of production, but you can still buy rebuild kits.  As long as the rubber boots are in good shape, they should be serviceable.  Not sure if you can hook them up in tandem to have brakes on passenger side.

I will check on what I have and try to get a photo of the Cessna Pedals soon - I have several sets of different Matco MCs, but would need you to measure what length you need, and that could change if you use the Cessna Pedals.  I haven't set mine up to measure that yet.  Guess 4 for $100 including shipping?  EDMO

Lots of Avids and Kitfoxes have dual brakes.  Most of what I have seen use MC4 cylinders with a remote reservoir, but you should ask George at Matco which MCs will work with dual pedals.   EDMO
