Section 27 : Rudder Pedals & Brake System

Putting the rudder pedals together took the whole day. I had problems getting the brake pedals working smoothly, until I figured that the nut fastening the master cylinders to the torque tube should be left loose. This nut is a castle type and is locked with a cotter pin. Despite this I still had one master cylinder operating rough. The reason was a 1/4 inch gap between the master cylinder head and the flange of the torque tube. I bent the flange to bring it in contact with master cylinder and this solved the problem.
