Steering Pedestal Question

Just purchased a 1988 Schochl Sunbeam 34-footer and I'd like to install a wheel brake. Problem is I cannot identify the manufacturer of the pedestal. It has rod steering and has Cobra 4 printed on the pedestal with a logo that looks like a W inside of an old ships wheel. There is also something about being a supplier to the early 80's America's Cup, but it is very faded and barely visible. I've tried internet searches (unsuccessful) and contacted Schochl (no responses), so I thought that I'd try here. Anybody have a clue as to who the manufacturer might be or where I could locate a wheel brake to fit??
