Installed the F-8105 brake lines that connect the master cylinders to the parking brake valve. I also final-torqued the brake fluid reservoirs to the master cylinders using Fuel Lube. I spent quite a bit of time trying to come up with a usable location for a parking brake valve. It's not easy in an RV-8 -- there's just not much room. Still not sure where to put it where it will be relatively easy to plumb, and won't be in the way.
Next, I installed the fuselage bulkhead fittings for the fuel vent lines. Because I'm using relatively stiff teflon-coated rubber lines instead of stock aluminum tubing, I reversed the bulkhead fitting so the 45-degree section was inside the gear tower. That made it easier to attach the lines, and will provide strain relief.
Finally, I installed the fuel vent lines themselves. This is SO much easier than bending aluminum tubes up inside the tight confines of the gear tower... I can't believe anyone would ever subject themselves to the hassle. I'll secure the loop with an Adel clamp at the top of the gear tower.

You are inside the left gear tower (really, you are!), looking down at the fuel vent line fittings.
