Brief Description:  Brake pedal final install

Spent today doing the final install of the brake pedals. First got all the hardware together which seemd to be all over the place for some reason. Prepared the middle brackett by drilling lightening holes and deburring and also drilling holes for grommets to run th brake lines. Left it full size even though plans show it can be shortened depending on position. I like having the pedals close so will install them on the closest position I have drilled. I hope it's not too close because it will be a real pain to relocate them later but I'd rather have them too close than too far. Riveted middle brackett in. Installed brake pedal assmebly with little trouble and bolted everything in. Pedals seem to move well. Installed the fittings into the brake cylinders and installed cylinders onto brake pedal assembly. Cut tubing to approximate length and then installed fittings on the pedal end after heating up the tubing in boiling water as suggested. Installed lines onto cylinders. Prepared other ends of tubing fot the T into the brake fluid resevoir. Installed the T and then the brake tubing. Tie wrapped the tubing to the pedal tubing. Riveted on the F-709 bulkhead which for some reason I hadn't done yet. Applied some red RTV around the hole through the firewall where the brake resevoir and gascolator come through.
