Assembled everything. You can see the spacers fit to hold the master cylinders in alignment. Plumbing in place. The unit is about 1 1/2 in. taller than the old Jaymar. I'm wondering if it will fit or will I have to lower it in the mount? We'll see to

Then I removed all the cheep crap connectors (with folded sheet metal pins) provided with the gage package, re-ran all the wiring and replaced the cheep connectors with good, 9-pin, sub-D connectors.

New brake master cylinder set, installed and viewed from the tunnel. Brakes have been bled and seem to work well. Taxi testing will tell just how well they work.

Request for fuel pressure input to the fuel pressure regulator. Installed a fuel pressure sensor on the input to the regulator. So now we have differential pressure out of the regulator and pressure into the regulator.

Here the nitrile gasket is lying on top of the paper gasket, They are dimensionally identical. The nitrile gasket is quite soft and flexible. The paper gasket is stiff and hard.

Run the engine, check the pressures. All seems OK. 5 lbs into the regulator and 3.8 lbs out of the regulator. This is with the Billet mechanical pump. Which became the next source of concern.
