Brief Description:  MLG Brake Lever

I installed the main landing gear levers with great difficulty. The keel was suppose to have the holes pre-drilled. However, I did not have any in my kneel and none of the drawing showed the location. After several weeks, Ban Banks was able to supply a drawing that showed the location based on a keel BEFORE it has been cut and angled up 12 degrees. I also discovered that the keel was a inch short. Unknown was how the missing inch affects the placement of the holes!

The next challenge was to drill a hole straight through the kneel. No matter how much I tried, the drill bit would wander a little and I had to redrill holes to make them line up.

Then the bolt specified would be too short with the arrangement of the hardware and plastic bushings, so I decided to reduce the thickness of the bushing to allow the bolt to work.

Once installed the brake handle still did not line up, so I change the 'stops' at the the bottom to fix the misalignment.
