Step 1:  Remove the hatched area as shown in Figure 1 from both F-1052 Brake Pedal Sets to create two F-1052A-L and-R Brake Pedals. Remove the tab and deburr the edges on all the brake pedals.

Step 2:  Create four F-1097 Spacers from AT6-058X5/16 per the dimensions in Figure 2.

Step 3: Cleco the F-1052A-R Brake Pedal. F-1052B Brake Pedal Side Plate, and F-1052C Brake Doubler Plate together as shown in Figure 3.

Step 4: Final-Drill #30 all the holes common between the F-1052A-R Brake Pedal and the F-105a2C rake Pedal Doubler Plate. Final-Drill #30 the upper four holes common to the brake pedal and the F-1052B Brake Pedal Side Plate. Final-Drill #12 both hinge points and master cylinder attach point.

Step 5: Disassemble the brake pedal and deburr all the parts.

Prime and Paint parts.

Step 6: Rivet the F-1052B Brake pedal Side Plate and F-1052C Brake Pedal Doublers late to the F-1052A-R Brake Pedal per the callouts in Figure 3. This will create the F-1052-R Brake Pedal Subassembly.

Note!! we thought the side with the bend in it was the front of the pedal, but actually the front is the flat side. Notice the rivets have the manufacturers head on the back. We only did one this way and drilled them out and did them with the manufactured head on the other side (front)

Step 1: Final Drill #12 all th4e bolt holes in the WD-1006-L and-R Rudder Pedals.

Note: it may be necessary to use a different mix of AN960-10 and AN960-10L washers than show in the hardware callouts given in Figure 1. It is important that the brake pedals move freely with no friction to prevent dragging brake. Use a plastic hammer to "slightly" adjust the brake pedal mounting ears if required.

Step 2: Attach the F-1052-R Brake Pedal Subassembly to the WD-1006-R Rudder Pedal Right using the hardware called out in Figure 1.

Step 3: Attach the BRAKE MAST CYL RIGHT-1 Right Brake Master Cylinder to the WD-1006-R Rudder Pedal Right and the F-1052-R Brake Pedal. Repeat Steps 1-3 to install the remaining F-1052-L and -R Brake Pedal Subassemblies. The left brake pedal subassembly installation is a mirror of the right.

Step 4: Refer to the isometric view on Page 38-1 and Page 38-6, Figure 1. Install an AN822-4D Elbow into the lower ports on both brake master cylinders on the pilot side of the aircraft. Note the clocking of the elbows in Page 38-6, Figure 1 which routes the F-8105 Brake Hoses between the upper ports of the brake master cylinders and away from the brake pedal assembly.

Step 5: Refer again to the isometric view on Page 38-1 and Page 38-6, Figure 1 and install F69-F-04X02 Brass elbows in the six remaining ports on both the pilot and co-pilot brake master cylinders. Again note the clocking of the lower elbows on the co-pilot side  of the aircraft in Page 38-6, Figure 1.

Step 1: Locate the F-6115 Rudder Pedal Bearing Block. Unlike the other blocks the holes for the rudder pedals pass all the way trough the part. Using a drill press, drill two #10 holes through the rudder bearing block as shown in Figure 1.

Step 2: Cut the F-6115 Rudder Pedal Bearing Block in half as shown in Figure 1.

Step 3:  Clamp the F-1039B Bearing Block Mount Plate to the F-1039A Rudder Pedal Bearing Block as shown in Figure 2. Match-Drill #12 the holes indicated in Figure 2 approximately 1/8 deep into the bearing block. Unclamp the parts, then use a drill press to finish drilling both holes #10 in the bearing block. Repeat this step with the remaining mount plate and bearing block.

Step 4: Final-Drill #12 the remaining holes in the F-1039B Bearing Block Mount Plate, Deburr the holes and edges of the bearing block mount plate. Prime the bearing Block Mount Plate if desired.

Step 5: Bolt the F-1039B Bearing Block Mount Plate to the F-1013-L Fwd Fuselage Longeron using the hardware called out in Figure 3. Bolt the remaining mount plate to the F-1013-R Fwd Fuselage Longeron.

Step : Slip a F-1039A Rudder Bearing Block onto either end of the WD=1006-L and -R Rudder Pedals. Bolt the bearing blocks to the F-1039B Bearing Mount Plate using the hardware called out in Figure 3.

Step 1: Insert the upper half of the F-6115 Rudder Pedal Bearing Block un the F-1039D Rudder Pedal Brace and over the the WD-1006-L and-R Rudder Pedals as shown in Figure 2. Horizontally space the upper half of the bearing block away from the left F-1039A Rudder Pedal Bearing Block per dimension in Figure 1.

Step 2: Clamp the upper half of the F-61115 Rudder Pedal Bearing Block to the F-1039D Rudder Pedal Brace. Match-Drill #12 the two vertical holes in the bearing block into the brace. Remove the upper half of the bearing block and deburr the holes in the brace.

Step 3: Bolt both the upper and lower halves of the F-6116 Rudder Pedal Bearing Block to the F-1039D Rudder Pedal Brace as shown in Figure 2.

Note: Use the isometric view on Page 38-1 and Figure 1 as a reference for installations on this page.

Step 1:Connect the F-8105 Brake Hoses from the AN833-4D Elbow Bulkhead Fittings (installed in section 36 Brake Lines) located on the F-6122-1 Tri Gear Brakes Ports of the pilot master cylinders. The brake hoses should be installed so they do not chafe on one another. If the hoses are rubbing protect one hose with spiral wrap or equivalent.

Step 2: Create the soft brake lines that interconnect the pilot and co-pilot brake master cylinders from PT-062X1/4 (the lengths of these lines are called out in Figure 1). The brake lines interconnect the upper ports of the pilot side brake master cylinders to the lower ports on the co-pilot side brake master cylinders. The lines pass through SB437-4 Snap Bushings in the F-1039D Rudder Pedal Brace and are tie wrapped to the WD-1006-L and- R Rudder Pedals on the co-pilot side of the aircraft. Connect the soft brake lines to the brass elbows as shown in Figure 2.

Step 3: Create soft brake lines from PT-062X1/4 that are long enough to interconnect the upper ports on the co-pilot brake master cylinders to the F-271-N-04X02 Nylon Male Tee. Connect these lines to the brass elbows in the upper ports of the co-pilot brake master cylinders as shown in Figure 2. The nylon male fitting will be installed and the soft brake lines connected on the next page.

Step 1: Bolt the VA-107 Brake Reservoir to the F-1001 Firewall Bulkhead Assembly as shown in Figure 1.

Step 2: Install the F-271-N-04X02 Male Nylon Tee to the VA-107 Brake Reservoir as shown in Figure 3.

Step 3: Connect the brake lines created on Page 38-6 to the F-7=271-N-04X02 Male Nylon Tee as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

Step 1:Insert the spade end of the F-1053 Rudder Cable through the oval shaped slot in the aft end of the F-1073-L Tailcone Side Skin Left

Step 2: clamp the aft plastic sleeve on the F-1053 Rudder Cable to the F-1011E Rudder  Cable angle using the hardware called out in detail view Figure 1. Position the plastic sleeve  so that both the oval slot in the F-10730L Tailcone Side Skin Left and the hole hole for the cable in the F-10011 Fuselage Bulkhead are protected from the rudder cabe.

Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the remaining rudder cable to the right side of the aircraft.

Step 4: Cross the F-1053 Rudder Cable over each other and insert them through the snap bushings in the F-1085 Rudder Cable Bracket, F-1007 Bulkhead and F-1006 Bulkhead (see Figure 1).

Step 5: Figure 2 shoes the hardware that will eventually be used to attach the F-1053 Rudder Cables to the R-1005 Rudder Horn. Refer back to Figure 2 when final assembling the Empennage to the fuselage..
