Brief Description:  Brake Lines 1

Began installing brake lines. This involved several setup items like:

- Reinstalling the brake master cylinders so that the brake line is oriented toward the right rather than toward the front.
- Reinstalling the master cylinder to the cabin floor with the proper bolts torqed correctly.
- Installing the final bolts that connect the toe pedals to the master cylinder actuator and adding a cotter pin.
- Adding compression fittings to each of the master cylinders.
- Running brake lines from each master cylinder, down the center of the cabin, through the center hole of the wing spar, then one under each seat (left/right).
- Drilling holes in the side of the fuselage just forward of the landing gear bracket to allow the brake line to exit the cabin area.

I haven't integrated the parking brake yet because I'm still not precisely sure where I'm going to attach it to the floor. I'll know more as I run the fuel lines.
