"RV-8 list (Matronics)" <rv8-list@matronics.com>
--> RV8-List message posted by: Don McNamara <N8RV@gte.net>
Several builders have replaced the stock brake master cylinder setup
with ones that eliminate the brake fluid reservoir on the firewall and
all of the associated tubing. I've searched everywhere and can't seem to
find the part numbers for the right replacement master cylinders,
although I believe people were buying them from Aircraft Spruce or
Wicks. Searches of this forum didn't turn up any info. Anybody out
there know?
And, while on the subject, has anyone made the swap and regretted it?
Any chance to simplify systems sounds good to me right now ...
Thanks,
Don McNamara

My wing kit was made before they started pre-punching the NACA vent in
the bottom of the right wing for passenger ventilation. I can't seem to
find any reference in the plans for WHERE this vent should go. Before I
start cutting sheet metal, can someone give me an idea where this goes?
Thanks,

Don,
Are you sure what you are looking for is not the small reservoirs that screw
onto each master cylinder?

Thanks for the replies, guys.
Yeah, Jim, those are the buggers. I ordered them from Aircraft Spruce just
now. Couldn't find them in the catalog I had, and didn't remember exactly what
they were. I thought you had to buy the whole enchilada, not just the screw-in
reservoirs.
I appreciate all the help. You guys are great!

Don,
It goes under the right wing. However, I never use mine because it brings
in a lot of noise from the exhaust. My RV-8 friends have the same problem. I
would locate it further out on the wing if mine had not been prepunched.

Don and list,
I don't know what that last post was...will try again. The front of the
vent is 7 and 3/4" from the front edge of the skin. The back of the
vent is 15 and 1/4" from the trailing edge of the skin edge. Th
centerline of the vent is 13" from the inboard edge of the skin. Hope
that help.

My wing kit was made before they started pre-punching the NACA vent in

Lads,
My wing kit came with the hole cut in the skin as per Jack's specs. It
provides plenty of air, but also lets in a lot of exhaust and prop noise.
The cabin is always noisiest while flying dual in the summertime heat.
Makes me wonder if a side cabin vent ala RV10 would work better for the back
seater.

Don, the gotcha is that if you have the pedals in their forward-most
position, those reservoirs will hit the firewall, and either limit
travel, or break off. I am 5'11" and mine are in the second notch back.

Same here, at 5'10" with pedals in the same position. I still greatly
prefer this setup vs. the runs of fugly looking tubing with red fluid and
visible bubbles that won't ever go away.

I got mine at Aircraft Spruce . . . P/N - A-600
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/lgpages/reservoirs.php
I don't have any fluid in them yet so can't tell you how they work . .
. but I liked the idea of getting rid of the plastic hoses.
Good Luck,
Bob

Yes. Just to be sure, check for full rudder deflection anyway. If you
install firewall insulation, check it again!
