I've about decided I'd like to go with the pedal mounted reservoirs for the brakes on my RV-7. I have the dual brake (pilot/co-pilot) set up and my question is - do I need a reservoir for each pedal master cylinder (4 total), or can I get by with one per side (left brake, right brake - two total). The Grove pedal mounted reservoirs on ACS each hold 1.1 oz. of fluid. Seems it would be easy to put a reservoir on each of the co-pilot pedals and plumb the rest of the system per the plans. If four reservoirs are required, I would have to "T" the two sides together somewhere and not sure the best way to do that.
Two other (maybe silly) questions:
- I'm assuming fuel lube or EZ turn is appropriate for all the threaded connecitons (i.e. no teflon tape)?
- If both pilot and co-pilot are pressing on the brakes, is the pressure at the brake cylinder the sum of the two, some fraction of the sum, or just the pedal closest to the brake?
Thanks,
