I was at home today as I really wasn't in good shape. I tried to get some work done on the plane but soon realised it wasn't really to be. In any case, I managed to rivet together most of the parts I primered the other day and fit nutplates where appropriate.
I also riveted the new PV-1 brake valve bracket and the parking brake handle braket to the bulkheads. After that I ran the two stainless steel brake hoses from the PV-1 to the 'T' fitting on the reservoir. However, I wasn't happy with the way I had to try to bend the stainless steel brake line through a 90 deg turn to mate with the elbow of the 'T' fitting. It was also making the cable run back at PV-1 parking brake valve less even. So I made up a 90 degree tube to allow a straight fitting of the brake line. Hopefully it will be ok, though I will need to find some way of supporting it so that it doesn't fatigue and fail. I will very likely put some adel clamps on the underside of the baggage shelf and maybe a bracket coming off the gear tower. Not sure yet.
