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

Hey Dale,



I grappled with the same issues.  Here's what I ended up doing.  It think its going to work out pretty well.
