Brief Description:  Wiring prep; gear brake line fittings

I measured and laid out another wire for the aft fuselage -- this time the four-conductor tail strobe wire. I also drilled the hole in the aft bulkhead where this wire will pass through, and installed a grommet.

In the left gear tower, I installed an edge grommet in one of the remaining 1" holes where the fuel lines will pass through.

A couple of days ago, I received my replacement 90-degree, steel AN822-4 fittings for the top inboard ends of the gear legs, where the internal brake lines come out. (I'm using steel fittings here because of the relative weakness of aluminum fittings in this high-vibration, high-wear area.) I installed the fittings with Loctite 567 high-temp thread sealant.
