Rudder cables, pedals and brake system mostly installed
Another delayed post - last year we ran the rudder cables through the fuselage and tailcone:
Rudder cables entering the tailcone
Rudder cables attached with clamps near the tailcone exits
Rudder cables running from forward tunnel all the way to the tailcone
Rudder cables running from the pedals back through the tunnel
Rudder cable tips (temporarily) attached to the rudder
After an attempt at making my own brake hoses and getting OK but not great results, I decided to order them from Aircraft Specialty, and the difference is very clear:
Aircraft Specialty brake hoses
Aircraft Specialty hose (top) vs my previous attempt (bottom)
We test-installed those and the lengths matched perfectly for installing with the Beringer system:
Trial fitting of AS hoses between firewall and parking brake
After quite a while (to wait for a larger batch), I primed the ALIR bracket, as well as the parking brake cable attachment bracket from AS:
Primed ALIR and pedal bracket (along with other parts)
and then put it all together for good, including the rudder pedal itself:
All parts for attaching the parking brake and ALIR
Brackets, ALIR, parking brake and rudder pedal installed in place

With this, the only remaining part of this section is attaching the hoses permanently and installing the brake fluid reservoir, which I'll do after the firewall insulation and some panel work are done.
