Working up a bracket to mount Van's parking brake to the firewall in the same position as the stock -7A brake line-to-hose bracket, lower left on the firewall. I may have a clearance issue with my left rudder pedal. Since I don't have the rudder rigged up yet, I don't know whether this is a problem. How far forward from "straight down" should I expect the rudder pedals to swing once they're rigged? Ideally I want to use the "middle" position of the three rudder positioning holes, and maintain minimum of 1 inch of clearance between the pedal full-forward position and the cable that controls the parking brake. Currently, my pedal touches the adel clamp on my bracket after 4 inches of forward deflection.
If I can expect no more than 3 inches of forward pedal deflection once the rudder is rigged, then I think I can live with my bracket.
