Brake pedals
Catégorie: Fuselage : Forward fuselage

Still fabricating the brake pedals. First all the parts have to be deburred and sanded, they are pretty thick aluminium parts with quite a lot of marks from the fabricating process. Then I assembled the four pedals (we will have dual brakes), being careful fabricating left and right pedals.



Then the side bushings are drilled to the auxilliary longeron in the forward fuse. A few holes are drilled to allow for the ruuder and brake pedals to be repositionned on the ground. On the picture you can see my today's blunder. The bushing should be aligned on the third line from the left and not on the other line. This would not be a problem per se, but unfortunately the holes I drilled interferd with some other hole on the longeron rending one of the position unusable. So I fabricated a new longeron.



Then the whole assembly is moved to the fuselage to install the center bushing. Here we see the center support which will be drilled to the firewall.



The support is now finished, on the right the clecos holding the support to the firewall. The support is also lightened by drilling three big holes.
