Hi Guys
Now that we are into our 9aQB fuselage build - a question (probably first of many):-
The 'Brake reservoir' is mounted on the right side, this area is (from what I can
see) a 'busy' area, Odyssey battery, contactors, through bulkhead wire feed-through
etc - is there any problem/issue in mounting the reservoir on the left
side.
The new model Matco brake valve (model PVPV-D) we had from'Van's' has the plumbing
feeds according to the instructions going initially to the left brakes peddles.
Was the right side mounting choice for the reservoir (from the plans) due to the
larger 'concord' battery being left side mounted.
Regards
John

John, personally, I can see no reason why it would make any difference. Glenn

to the master cylinders. I'm building a tipup -7, and plan to mount mine in
the cockpit on the bulkhead that supports the canopy hinges. With a tipup
canopy, it's accessible when the canopy is open. One less hole in the
firewall (actually 3, with mounting) and still invisible to passengers.
Just a little extra care required when checking/filling.
FWIW...
