There is a metal insert in the tunnel wall (the area you call the  "plain 
resin area"). The mounting holes need to go in this area,  parallel to the top
of 
the tunnel as shown in the  illustration.

The  manual shows a measurement for positioning the monowheel brake 
master  cylinder which looks as though it might be made parallel to 
the top corenr  of the tunnel moulding. However, that would put one of 
the mounting holes  in a brown foam area which would obviously crush 
when the mounting  fastener was tightened. However, measuring 
horizontally with the fuselage  lying on the ground (instead of 
slantwise along the top corner of the  tunnel) puts both holes in a 
plain resin area, which I feel confident is  the correct location.

However, (since I can't rely on the picture on  the manual) I'm 
wondering about the angle at which the master cylinder is  mounted. 
Should it be parallel to the tunnel top, or should it be as near  to 
horizontal as possible (with the fuselage level), or should it be  
horizontal in the tail-down attitude (to make bleeding easier)?

Any  suggestions?
