| Subject: | Grove brake resevoir |
I have a RV-8 under construction and have installed the Grove brake reservoir on
each brake master cylinder. It should be noted that I have the 'In-Flight'
adjustable rudder pedals. With the pedals at the full forward position, the brake
reservoirs do hit the firewall when the pedals are deflected. Has anyone
come up with a way to mount the Grove reservoirs in this situation with out the
reservoir hitting the firewall? Or do I have to just bit the bullet and install
the leaky nylon tubing!
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Hey Dale,
I grappled with the same issues. Here's what I ended up doing. It think its going
to work out pretty well.

unless your 7 feet tall i doubt you will ever use the forward stop . I'm
5,10 and I'm on the first stop, also note that when you connect the rudder
cables , the pedals tilt aft reducing the possibility of reservoir reaching
the firewall...j

Hey Dale=2C
I have the same reservoirs. I'm 5'10" with and inseam of 32 inches=2C and
have my adjustable peddles in the closest hole to me. This gives me just t
he right amount of knee bend and is very comfortable. So unless you are ve
ry tall with long legs=2C you probable will not be using the hole closest t
o the firewall. Good luck.
