Rudder Pedals & Brake System

First mockup of the rudder pedals with the brake master cylinders attached on the right side.  Note the single WD-1211 tube on the far right side of the picture inserted through both rudder pedals, to lock the entire assembly into position.  The square is for setting the drilling position of the brake pedal.  First hole is to match drill with #30 then #12 and finally a .25" bit.

Close up view of right pedals only.

Same view as above, but from the side.

Of further note is the pair of clamps holding the entire assembly flat on the work bench prior to drilling the brake pedal holes.

After prepping the nyaflow plastic brake line with the inserts and compression fittings/nuts, the long brake lines (from the master cylinders to the manifold) are ready to route into the fuselage.  Below, I am installing the terminus of the line from an access hole to my helper (see next photo) on the other side.

Helper shown receiving line and routing forward through the system blocks and to their final destination, the brake master cylinders.

Well, this is embarrasing, I guess I do not know how to rotate an image from portrait to landscape.  Just tilt your head sideways and you can see all of the brake lines installed into the master cylinders as well as the pair that will reside in the firewall-mounted reservoir.  As with the fuel valve (NPT) fittings, I used Locktite 567 for the thread sealer, as recommended by Matco, the manufacturer of the brakes.
