Shifted focus to day and worked on the brakes, but befor doing so, I built a Rick Sked dolly for the Fuse, the old EAA bench that I was using was just to high, especially for a shorty like me. with a lot of the work after Sec 29 being installation of systems, it seemed appropriate to lower the working platform some what. Next, I followed Mike Howes approach and installed the Matco parking brake, http://www.etigerrr.com/Fuselage/section_36_brakelines.htm Drilled off the old attach plate, cut off the flange, reattached it (basically to plug the holes and stiffen the firewall. Then used the spare F1048 primer bracket and fashioned a mount out of it, match drilled it to the Fuse, dimpled firewall, installed AN3 nutplates to hold the Matco valve, primed the bracket, then riveted the assembly to the firewall. I needed to make a run to AERO ZONA for some straight AN fittings to replace the angeld ones, and then proceeded to bend the Al tubing. I found another mistake, I installed the nutplates to hold the clamps for the brake line son the WRONG side of the ribs, I thought about drilling them off and switching them, but the dimples are already there and it would be ugly, i experimented and found that by using a couple of washers on the #8 screws I could install the clamps and get a gutenteit fit with them on this side (WHEW!). There is another section of brake line that rins from the fwd ribs out to the landing gear and exist the bottom skin, but I need to wait until th egear is installed before that, it looks pretty simple and straight forward.
