Drilling holes for brake reservoirTimer icon1h

Just a bit of work on the brake reservoir.

First, I drilled two angles for the central avionics stack. Those angles are 1"x1"x1/16", and they are attached with three screws each. If my calculations are correct, all avionics forward attach screws should align with the angle.

Then I worked on a brake reservoir. First, I made a jig to match the reservoir.

Then I drilled it to the firewall / structure.
