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. |

Thanks, good picture. My buddy is going to add brake lines from the Matco
units and a remote firewall mounted brake fluid reservoir. "Gig 601Xl Builder" wrote in message m... Dick wrote: g. just the start of one of those days where I can't get anything right .

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 "Gig 601Xl Builder" I am going to add a parking brake though. |

If you are talking about putting the brake master reservoir on the engine side of the firewall, I don't like the idea. First, you have the additional hole in the firewall, then you have the heat issue. If you are talking about putting the reservoir on the inside of the firewall I don't see what is gained. |

Respectfully, I'm not sure that heat is a problem: as long as the
reservoir is mounted away from exhaust pipes and oil cooler discharge, and if necessary, could do some shielding like for gascolators or air duct like those directed on magnetos. I'd like to hear where others have a master reservoir located.... He has a removable top cowl skin between the firewall and instrument panel for access to fuel tank and back of panel. Having the same removable skin on my 601, it is easier to access my Matco rudder mounted brake units thru a floor access panel. Each annual when I check the fluid level at the pedal units and still pull the top skin to check instrument connections, hoses, wiring, filters, I think how nice it would be to have an easily accessible remote master reservoirG, hence the firewall aft side thought .
