Brief Description:  Parking Brake Final Installation

Updrilled the rivet mounting holes in the parking brake bracket from pilot hole-sized to final A4 rivet size. I then cleaned up, sanded, and painted the parking brake bracket and cabin heel support for the final installation of the bracket. Next, I riveted the bracket into place with 8 rivets. It's permanent now, although the parking brake valve can still be removed from the bracket for maintenance or replacement as required.

Next I started measuring for the firewall penetration I'll need for the wire bundle leading from the engine to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). I also ordered some ECU mounting bolts, and the aluminum tubes to secure the brake lines to the aft edge of the landing gear struts.
