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

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 C

  

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

It sounds like I need to hang and rig the rudder before I try to make adjustments.



Thanks,

Dale

Hi Paul.



I am 6' 4" with and wear pants with 37" inseams.  (And then my pants sometimes look like 'high water pants'!)  I just know that I will need the rudder pedals in the full forward position.



But from other comments, it sounds like I need to hang and rig the rudder before I get carried away with making changes.



Thanks,

Dale

Well C you are quite tall C sounds like a good plan to set it all up before you make a final decision.  

  

 Let us know how it goes.
