Trimmed a little tight on that one but the threading looks like your are
talking to me so yes, they are 1/8".

g. just the start of one of those days where I can't get anything right .
Here's probably a better reference.

I don't have my plans here at the office they are at the airport but I
THINK. It is an AN115-21 cable shackle. If someone else doesn't pop up with
the answer shortly I can find out for you.

Dick, I just checked and surprisingly my memory was correct, it is
AN115-21 shackles.

There is a picture of this connection here.

Thanks, good picture. My buddy is going to add brake lines from the Matco
units and a remote firewall mounted brake fluid reservoir.

I decided the guy in the right seat didn't need brakes because I didn't
want to go to the hassle of a dual set up. I am going to add a parking
brake though.

He also decided not to have right seat brakes but I was wondering what you
thought of the brake master reservoir on the firewall idea (so he doesn't
have to crawl inside and under the panel)?

Also what kind of parking brake are you thinking about?
Thanks

Were I to do it over again, I would delete the parking brake. I nine years,
I found little or no use for it. Wasted space and weight IMHO. I am glad I
put in brakes on both sides, though. When the day comes I need to sell it
(sob) I will want to be able to let the prospective buyer have brakes for
his pre-buy flights. When I bought my first Emeraude, there were no brakes
on the right and I was never able to get good taxi and landing practice. My
first flight on the left (after handing over the check) was very dicey as I
found I had inadequate room to operate the pedals on that side. The seller
had to take over in the middle of the takeoff 'cuz I was headed for the FBO.

For a dual setup, I built it with four master cylinders. I would instead use
two cylinders and link the toe brakes together mechanically.
