We attached the reservoir to the firewall, then attached the last hoses to it:

We later connected the parking brake cable to its valve - we initially tried to use the McFarlane tip for the conduit, and then adapting that tip's M6 thread to the ~10mm hole of the Aircraft Specialty valve bracket:

Eventually, we realized we could just use a Bowden cable clamp from Spruce, which has fewer parts and would hold the cable more securely, so we switched to that:

With this, only the final assembly steps - filling the brake lines, and attaching the rudder cables - is left for this section.
Total rudder pedal and brake rivets: 8
