I moved onto finishing the installation of the Grove Brake master cylinders now that I have all the right size mounting hardware. Here is a view of the washer arrangement at the top. Took a couple of tries to get the right combination but I am really please with it. Overall the alignment is really good.
So I installed cotter pins and called it done for now. I want to finish the final fitting of the front fuselage before I permanently install the brakes/rudder pedals.
With more time available to work I decided to strip the paint down on the sides of the centre tunnel since the fit is so tight with the final paint on the sides. I marked the edges where the center cover contacts the floor stiffeners. I masked off the part and ground down the metal/paint. With a couple wipes of acetone, I primed the bare metal with self-etch primer. The fit is so much better and not so tight.
