Brief Description:  Fuel & Brake Line installation

- Installed the 45 deg elbows that connect the brake line through the landing gear weldment and floor skin. I had to spend some time slowly widening the hole in the skin in on both sides to get the fitting to pass through w/ clearance. - Fab'd and installed the right and left brake line tubings that runs from the fittings above through the weldment and along the front spar. I terminated both lines at a point below the fuel selector valve where they will be connected via a 90-deg fitting to the remaining tubing run up to the firewall. - Decided I didn't like that the left fuel tank supply line was cut and connected via a coupling. Therefore, I cut out the old line and spent a few hours fabricating and installing the new line. Trial fit the connection to the left fuel selector valve fitting. - Removed the fuel selector valve fittings and lubed o-rings w/ EZ-Turn. Reinstalled w/ supplied allen screws and punched as directed to lock into place. - Fabricated the left brake line tubing run from the firewall to the elbow fitting below the fuel selector. I now have all the aluminum tubing runs completed and am awaiting some AN fittings from ACS so that I can finish installation, flush and seal the lines.
