I think what I would like to do is submit a 337 for field approval to install a Hegar heel-operated master cylinder just below the rudder bars. The design looks perfect and my foot would fall there naturally when coming off the rudders. What I need to know is the correct bore size to use with Cleveland Brakes. Then I can order the part and we can figure out a mounting set-up before submitting the 337. If it doesn't get approved, then I can send the part back to Spruce for a refund and I still have my Piper hand brake. Can anyone tell me the correct bore size?
Technically, this looks simple. Getting it approved will probably be harder than installing it!
