Parking Brake
Took a break from the fiberglass to make a mount for the parking brake. Use a bracket Vans supplied for the Facet fuel pump which I don't have, and fit it in the same location the brake line bracket was previously. The anchor for the actuator cable is sandwiched between the bracket for the parking brake unit and the parking brake itself. Had to shorten the brake lines slightly.

Wheel fairings
Mounted the wheel fairings and gear leg fairings. These things are a pain and I don't like working with fiberglass. Still need to trim and sand the intersection fairings. BLEAHHH !

Jacked up for wheel fairing fitting
| Jacked the aircraft up to fit the wheel fairings. I didn't want the plane to move once it was up, so I ran a brace from the engine mount to the back wall of the shop. |  |
