Brake Master Cylinder placement

[Fly2eat]

I have a fresh and clean firewall and the opportunity to map out next steps. I converted the old short leg un-finished kit I bought to the long leg with dynafocal mount. I am mating my RV-4 (Serial #2593) to a Continental IO-340 with a rear mounted prop governor for a 3-blade MT-prop. The engine is set up for a Raven inverted oil system which I also going to map out before final installation of the engine. I have an earthX battery that I also plan on having up there somewhere versus in the cockpit (maybe in one of the cheek cowlings). I am wondering if going with Berringer brakes and a firewall mounted master cylinder is a good way to go? I see some others have gone with brake mounted master cylinders, which seems pretty restrictive to get to for servicing.

You are asking about the fluid reservoir location, Right?........ FIREWALL

Yes, sorry, the master fluid reservoir. That was my thought too! That’s where I put it on our RV-8 and it’s pretty convenient there. The difference is the room behind the engine between the it and the firewall. Plus the inverted oil tank has to go there somewhere.
