Jan 08, 2022     Brakes - (2 hours)       Category: Controls
Fabricated a new lower bracket for the RH brake pedal. Trimmed it to fit tightly against the existing rudder pedal assembly when welded into place.

The aluminum sleeve from original heel brake assembly needed to be removed. The inner sleeve on the LH rudder pedal had melted when the lower bracket was welded to the outer tube. The inner sleeve was loose in the tube but was hung up. I didn't want it to loosen with time and fall out at an inopportune time so I drilled out and fully removed the aluminum inner sleeve. I did the same with the sleeve on the RH pedal as it would melt when the bracket was welded to its corresponding tube. Photo to follow.
