Worked on Brake System
I drilled the firewall and stiffener for the brake fluid reservoir. This has mounting ears that are bolted through the firewall stiffener. I installed this on the left side of the firewall instead of the right since I'm only installing pilot side brakes.
This is the cabin side. These are the wrong length bolts (obviously), but were just used for positioning. You can see where the fitting threads into the reservoir. Hoses will attach here to provide fluid to the master cylinders.
I positioned the Grove parking brake valve just to the right of the reservoir. I determined the horizontal position by positioning the activation arm just to the right of the rib so that I can attach the cable mount to the rib.
Next up, I used some left over 1/4" 5052 tubing to fabricate lines that tie the brake valve to the fittings on the firewall.
Here you can see that the line has to jog around the firewall stiffener. It's late, so I'll take care of the other line tomorrow.
