December 21, 2015 – I decided to go ahead and install the pedals. I started by removing the subpanel structure pretty much as an assembly, so I could get access for the pedals.
I installed the elbows in the firewall that connect from the pedals inside the cockpit out to the brakes. The holes in the firewall and the doubler had been done back when I did the firewall.
I also had to mount the brake fluid reservoir on the forward side of the firewall. These holes were not drilled. I laid out the location on the firewall per the plans; on the right side and incorporating the upper angle. I drilled a 9/16″ hole where the fitting attaches to the reservoir.
I installed the fittings in the brake master cylinders on the pedals.
Now I’m assembling the pedals, and then I’ll drop the assembly into place and run the tubing.
