Brief Description:  Yaw Servo Mount, Brake Lines

Installed the Garmin mounting bracket for the anti-yaw servo in the tail cone. This bracket fits right behind the Garmin pitch servo mounting bracket.

This bracket required drilling out 4 rivets installed into the bulkhead as part of the tail cone assembly, which wasn't easy to do. Had to crawl back into the tail cone and work on my stomach using a couple of flash lights. Once the rivets were drilled out, I installed the bracket using the screws holding the bracket to the pitch servo bracket and the elevator bell crank assembly, and then drove new rivets using a bucking bar and rivet gun. (My squeezer would not reach these rivets.) The servo will attach to the rudder cables via small short cables running from a custom servo actuator arm to each of the rudder cables. Not sure why this installation kit from Garmin is 10 times the cost of the other 2 servo mounting kits, as it isn't 10 times the parts or design!

Had to re-do the brake lines from the fire wall bracket to the fittings through the tunnel walls, as in testing the fit of the front tunnel cover I found that my original routing of the lines dropped too low before running forward under the firewall recess box. The plans do not specify this, but them must be held within 1 inch below the firewall box so that the cover will fit under the brake lines. Did not see any way to neatly change the original lines, so removed them and fabricated new lines. I was able to re-use the tube fittings from the original lines by simply cutting off the flares and removing the fittings.
