Is it possible to have brakes installed on the right side of a 120/140 that isn't so equipped, and if so, how easy/hard for a guy that can recognize a screwdriver 8 out of 10 times, but is willing to learn?
Thanks

Re: right side brake install
Yes.
It depends on what is there now. There are carry-throughs for the brake pedals in the rudder bars. If you have them than it's pretty straight forward. If not, you need to remove the rudder control bars and replace them. You will also need to hunt down the required parts.how easy/hard for a guy that can recognize a screwdriver 8 out of 10 times, but is willing to learn?
Either way, it will require a sign-off by an A&P, who will also be able to help you with those other 2 out of 10 identifications.

I hope you're a nimble, flexible guy. Working under the instrument panel is ........"Tight" and that's "playing nice".

There’s a 140 graveyard that has all these parts, I believe. Todd Littfin at srairparts. His email is president at the previous name . Com. Tell him Trent sent you. He is super reasonable.
