 |
|
In attempting to determine the proper position to place the dual system brake pedals for my 9-A I have found that it will be necessary to depress two of the master cylinders in order to have the bolt holes line up with the designated tabs that are welded to the brake pedals. Having never set up a hydralic system before I have no experience to draw on and am not sure what I am doing. Could someone with more experience advise me before I make a mistake and drill a hole in the wrong place?

Mac,
When you say, "necessary to depress two of the master cylinders". How much
did you press them down? If it was just a tiny amount then probably no
troubles. If a lot then something else might be wrong.
Your statement, "designated tabs that are welded to the brake pedals" really
makes me wonder what your talking about. Are you sure your not talking about
the two tabs that the rudder cables hook up to? There should be one on the
right side of the plane and one on the left.
Can you take a picture and post it?

Michael,
The "Designated Tab" I am referring to is the one riveted to the brake pedal. My mistake about welded. This is the tab drawing 37 shows the large hemi-spherical head of the brake cylinder attaching to with the AN3-11 bolt. After further study I see that the brake cylinder cannot be depressed as it returns to it's fully expanded position due to the internal return spring. I see that I must drill the attachment hole for the AN3-11 bolt in different positions on the tab depending on the particular rudder pedal (fore or aft) position in order to get the top edges of each brake pedal pair even with each other. Am I makeing my self clear? I will try to post a photograph. I have never done so before. I am not much of a computer whiz.

Mac,
It sounds like you have it figured out correctly. Build on and have fun. If
you still have doubts drop an email to Van's.

Most of the builders in our group use one long bolt going all the way across each peddle instead of the two short ones Vans recommends.
If the brake cylinder rod is depressed at all brake fluid will not pass through it. (will not be released) All the brake cylinders must freely return to the non applied position.
