John,
If you are using the Matco MC-5 brake actuator
the vent hole on the top of the actuator has to be the highest point in the
hydraulic system. See note in the Matco web site.

I put my Matco brake on the console between the seat and instrument panel above
my fuel selector. I still need to make a nice knob for the lever but I don't
need any linkage cable and it uses the empty space. Also looks great with the
label next to it. I also used the 1/8th size tubing from Matco. I would be happy
to talk about it if you want to call me. John 913-915-1989 Central time.

Hi Al. Thanks for the concern. You are correct in the need for the reservoir to
be at the highest point. I traded my reservoir style back to matco for 2 more
slave ones like the ones I have for the passenger side. Then used a remote reservoir
( also from matco ) that is mounted higher on the firewall than my valve.
I really like the 1/8th tubing because it was easy to route under the seat
and come out of the floor behind the landing gear at a very sharp angle pointed
right at the back of the legs. I just drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the floor
(one on each side ), then riveted a square piece of faring over it with a 1/8th
hole drilled at a sharp angle through the faring. No elbows needed this way
and the 1/8th tubing lays against the bottom very snugly about 3 inches exposed
before sticking out toward the back of the leg.
