Beringer master cylinders

[danlh]

So I’m looking at the instructions for the master cylinders installation and Beringers has a great exploded view of the cylinder and hardware required but didn’t include the rudder pedal in the diagram. So I’m left to figure out where it fits. Im assuming that at the bottom of the rudder pedal would be:
Bolt
Rudder pedal
332p washer
363p washer
Ball end
Master cylinder
332p washer
Lock nut

Top rudder pedal attachment:
Bolt
Rudder pedal
Ball end
Master cylinder
332p washer
Lock nut

I think this right but can someone confirm or deny!

For the Vans pedals, the spring side mounts to the bottom. For Control Approach pedals, they mount to the top.

Thanks for the reply Tom.
I was concerned about the sequence of the hardware attaching the cylinder to the rudder pedal.
Does this look right?

This seems to work very well:

Agree. Putting the top spacers on the inside creates two problems at the mounting tab - a twisting load caused by leverage and the master cylinders pushing at an angle. Vic Syracuse has reported on those tabs bending or shearing under those side loads.

Thanks! That’s why I posted this. I don’t understand why beringer wouldn’t include the rudder pedal in the drawing I posted above.

The rubber pedals are Vans in this case. Even though the master cylinders are attchedd to the rudder pedals, they arent part of the Beringer, or anyone elses package. Like wondering why you dont get wheels and tires with your avionics.

That’s true, but because the instructions are written for an RV10 install, I thought they would give better guidance.
