Brief Description:  Re-Install Brake Lines

With my decision made for parking brake placement, I began the process of finalizing the brake line installation. Step 1 is to realign the hoses coming out of the brake master cylinders at the rudder pedal. I originally had the hoses coming out the right sides of both master cylinders, but the bend in the hose to the planned parking brake location was too sharp. So today I uninstalled both master cylinders (removed hoses, removed cylinders from the cabin floor) and rotated them 90 degrees counter-clockwise so that the hoses now come out the front of the master cylinder. This new alignment provides room for a more relaxed hose bend radius toward the parking brake.
