More brake lines.  These are the ones that go along the firewall.  I copied just about everyone else by using the facet pump bracket to mount the brake valve to the firewall.  I also made a bracket that attaches the cable actuator for the parking brake valve.  I used a piece of angle, and also stuck a couple 470 rivets with the shop head up to use as positive stops for the valve.  Simple, and effective.  I think I’m also going to hook up a microswitch (possibly the unused one from the old-school stall warning) to activate an idiot light.  I’ll need to think about that one though.  Anyway, made the brake lines, and went on to bolting together and installing the rudder pedals.  We had all the rudder parts and control sticks powder coated black, and also, I took apart the master cylinders and had those powdercoated as well.  when everything’s all together, it looks super sweet.  it’s the little things....  As you can see, It was pretty cold by the time we were through.  We stuck it out though.
