One thing to note is I put my reservoir on the pilot side since I don't have any passenger brakes. This makes for shorter hose runs and a more simple set up. I confirmed with a few other builders that I won't run into any troubles with this alternate reservoir location when I get into the firewall forward. I will take some pics of the reservior today and post. It is mounted on the other side of the firewall when looking at the pictures below.

Back to the Brakes
Since I got my Bonaco hoses, I took another look at the brakes today. I was able to mount the reservoir and the parkiung brake as well as connect all fittings. Nothing is torqued at this point, but it is fitting together pretty well. I also got my pedal extensions from JD Air Parts and mounted them. These are the newer models that have two clamps in the back and I wasn't sure if I mounted them upside down or not since there were no instructions. Either way they hold very securely so I am fine for now.. Will check it out down the road and make sure I have them right. Anyway, after my session today the interior brake components are pretty much complete.
