Jay,
Mike Howe and several others have what seems to be the standard for the parking brake valve. We used the bracket supplied by Vans for I think is a fuel pump on the O-540 vs. the IO-540 where you don't need the bracket. I did mine after the firewall was complete but you can save time by not putting the supplied brake line bracket in place then having to remove it and fill the holes.
Deem's Davis has some good slow build pic's on his site too along with some of his "Gotchas" It's weird for me to check out his site because his project really mirrors my project to include the areas he removed the plastic and the primer color, now he is using the same dolly for the Fuselage so it looks even more like my garage!
You can make some pretty nice rivets using the C-Frame to in effect back rivet areas where it is impractical to use the back rivet plate. Run your brake lines and transponder ant. (if your mounting it under the tunnel) after the bottom skin is on prior to joining the mid section. There are a lot of areas to watch out for over the next few chapters. Especially the riveting of the upper/lower fwd longerons to the firewall brackets. There is critical edge distance that clamping will prevent problems when you get to that step. If you going to use metal eyeball penetrations for your engine controls, don't follow Van's "Drill 3 each 5/8" holes in the recess", wait until you get the eyeballs to get proper spacing.
That all I can think of currently....I could go page by page with you and point out a whole bunch of "and oh yeah on this step" stuff.

Unlike Rick Sked's garage, you WILL find drilled rivet remenants in my
garage.

I posted the pictures of how I used the bracket described and you can
see how we mounted the assembly. Here is a link to the page; the
information is toward the bottom of the page.

Also I had a wonderful surprise visit from Van and Ken Kruger when they
got weathered in here at SLC on the way to Sun and Fun. Check out the
story and pictures at http://www.etigerrr.com/van.htm

LOL....I thought everyone forgot about my claim to never having to drill out a bad rivet. For old times sake I'll stick to that story!!
