Toe Brake Work

Had to do a little grinding on the rudder pedals to allow the toe brake brackets to fit correctly and allow free movement.  Once the brackets fit correctly, the F-0845.0 Bushings were fit with the correct orientation indicated in the builder's manual.  The F-0845.1 bushing stops were fit in place and drilled for a CCP-44 rivet (i.e. 1/8").  The parts were bushing parts were removed and prepared for painting.  The parts were allowed to dry overnight and then everything was re-assembled and the toe bushings tops were riveted in place.  The Matco brake cylinders were next to be fitted.  Due to an interference issues with the attach bracket and the brake cylinder attach point more grinding was needed.  about 1/16" was removed from the rounded section of the attach brackets on the fuselage.  Once the grinding was done, the exposed metal was painted to prevent rust.  Brake cylinder installation will have to wait for the paint to dry.  Hours: 2.5
