Couple things.

1.) That brake hose looks too tight. What happens when you turn your wheel all the way to the left?

2.) Your prop valve shouldn't get rusty. I believe it's brass.

3.) Be careful to attach the master cyl pushrod to the right hole on the pedal. There may be two- one for power and one for manual. They are set up this way because manual brakes need more leverage from a different pivot point.
