PA-12 Brake cylinder mounting.

[guanaco]

Can anyone please post a picture of the brake cylinder mounting on the floor board? Rebuilding my PA-12. The parts manual shows a flange over top of the cylinder leg-inboard side.
Thanks

Does this help?

Also, have a look at this thread it’s all about the master cylinders and removing them etc https://www.supercub.org/forum/threads/removing-the-left-brake-pedal-and-master-cylinder.54373/

Yes it does help, thank you. I noticed the tab on top of the cylinder leg that holds it down is missing in the picture.

 

[Philly5G]

Which tab do you mean? and do you mean something is missing in the photograph?

 

[guanaco]

Yes, it's missing that tab, according to the Piper Parts Manual

Yes I see what you mean! I’ll check when I’m out at the airfield next, I don’t remember if it’s got just 2 or 4 bolts per cylinder, but there certainly aren’t bolt holes in the floor to fit those tabs

I’ve looked again and found more photos, there’s actually a 3rd bolt through the same leg hole which your photo and the parts catalogue shows the tab to be and it’s in the same relative orientation on both sides. So no tab, but a bolt

Thank you!
