Rudder Pedals and Brake System (3)

Final connections for brake lines were completed this week.

The parking brake connected with heavy duty stainless lines to the master cylinders on the pilot’s pedals.  The Bonaco coated, flexible lines were then run through the center lever bracket to the copilot side.

 

 

Here are details about the cable lace and rescue tape applied to hold the lines in place.

 

 

 

MISCELLANEOUS

In researching the fuel level sensors, many recommendations were made to replace the regular gasket material with Viton.  Here are pictures of the McFarlane product to be installed at a later date. In addition, I also ordered Viton Fluoroelastomer O-rings for the #8 screws which hold the fuel sensor base plate onto the wing tanks.  These were obtained from McMaster part number 9464K12.
