Jan 04, 2022     Brakes assemblies - (4.5 hours)       Category: Controls
Created final layout of brake pedal assembly. Took a few attempts and adjustments to get sufficient clearance, for example, pedal needed to be shortened by 1/4" to clear the wing bolt, see second picture. Almost there. Some additional modification might be done to master cylinder housing.

See pictures below to see the tight clearances. Keep in mind that landing gear torque tube will be coming towards the viewer from the hole in the frame in the back ground of the photo. Rudder bar, brake pedal, master cylinder and brake fluid reservoir all need to be in specific position to provide clearance for the torque tube. Brake fluid reservoir needs to be tilted forward to clear brake pedal and some of the rudder pedal needed to be ground away to provide clearance there too.

Once I had enough confidence in the assembly for the LH pedal, made mirror image duplicates for RH pedal.
