Finished up the landing gear by installing the brakes on the wheels and then installing the 1/4" brake line between the fuse bottom side and the brakes. I found that it was much easier to bend the alum brake line, by: 1. 1st attaching it to the fuse fitting and getting the joggle between it and the gear leg bent, then measure down the appripriate amount and put a gradual 90 degree bend in the lower portion of the line. then temporarilly tape the line to the gear leg with some friction tape, and then just use your hands to bend the line around the gear leg to match the shape depicted in the plans manual. Mark where to cut and flare the end that connects to the disc brake, then take the assembly off, cut , debur and flare the end (after slipping on the fitting of course), clean the gear legs w/ solvent. wrap friction tape around the gear legs in 5 different spaces, 2-3 turns, leaving a long tail to complete the wraping after the line is connected. Connect the line to the fuse fitting, connect the line to the disc brake, then complete wrapping the friction tape around the line and the gear leg.
