There are a bunch of modifications I mention in this video as it relates to the brake lines and the rudder pedals. Again, by this point I am kind skipping around and building out of order, but I hope you enjoy the video.

Van’s RV-9: New Rotax Power - Subscribe to Kitplanes Magazine
How do you inject a healthy level of speed, simplicity, and efficiency into an already efficient airframe? Lockwood Aero’s Rotax 916iS firewall-forward package. With a redesigned cowling, a new cooling system, an MT three-blade constant-speed composite propeller, and an optimized center of gravity that allows full utilization of the RV-9’s 100-pound baggage area while remaining within loading limits, the 916iS-powered RV-9 delivers impressive performance. At FL190, it cruises at 190 knots true on 8.5 gph, while at 8500 feet, it achieves 170 knots true.
