I'm installing rudder pedals on the left side only and using the Lancair Adjustable Pedal Option.
Will be changing to Grove Wheels and Brakes and using the Tim Ong De-Bongers.
 
The brake master cylinders I have are the MATCO MC-1's.  I still have the 3/16 Nylaflow tubing but have 
lost or never had the Poly Flow Fittings.
 
Questions:
 
1)   Should I use the NYLAFLOW tubing or some other product?  
        (Note: If I use NYLAFLOW I'll buy new - this stuff is already 13 years old)
 
2)   Should I use the supplied MATCO MC-1's or is there a better option that is a direct replacement?  My system
        has a pin center length of 7.5".   Looking through the ACS catalog I see that the Grove (w/reservoir) has an 8"
        pin center length - which would require modification to the master cylinder and/or the pedals.  The MC-5 seems
        to be a direct replacement for the older MC-1's and Vern stocks a rebuild kit for the 5's.
 
3)   If I use the original MC-1's, is there a good way to test them prior to installation?
 
4)   Seems the consensus is that installing a parking brake  is a good idea - has the MATCO parking brake  
       valve been reliable?
 
5)   I plan to purchase the Grove Products directly from Grove (Vern told me he didn't stock them) - is that
      the best option?
