Title: brake plumbing
My electrical work took a hard left into brake plumbing. I'm trying to determine mounting location for both a fuse box and voltage regulator and wanted to make sure they wouldn't interfere with brake plumbing, so elected to get an idea of what that might look like. I installed the T on the reservoir as well as the elbow fittings on the master cylinders, and the hard lines from the parking brake to the firewall bulkhead fittings. All of this didn't take the 6 hours that I've logged, but I spent at least that long spread out over several days, looking for the stupid nylon T that the plans call out as coming off the reservoir. Long story short- Vans changed the part. I verified it with Tech Support. The fitting in the picture below is what now screws in from the cabin side. I have to admit I'm a little frustrated by this. I looked through every bag, box, I toolbox in my shop, thinking that I had hidden this fitting from myself sometime over the past year. I must have looked at this thing a dozen times, assuming that it was a pitot/static fitting. Anyway, to be continued.
