Brief Description: Clamp gear leg Brake Lines
|
|
Finished up the brake line from the mounting bracket to the gear legs by locating the holes for the clamps on the gear leg tower, drilling out with #19, and securing with AN8R8 with lock nuts.
Also, finally got the left gear leg brake line to connect in the gear well, had to make a few tweaks to get the connector to align. Since it is in the bottom of the gear leg well, hard to see what the alignment problem was, but eventually figured out which direction the angle was out a bit, tweaked accordingly, and finally screwed on with no fuss.
metal shavings in pic 3 are actually from locating the #19 hole for the AN8R8 screw that holds the clamp, that holds the brake line in pic #1.
I am happy with how these brake lines worked out, Nice bends and no clearance issues with the vent or fuel lines, which is a bit surprising when you look into thw left gear leg well and see the fuel line routed from the filter to the boost pump, the vent line from the fuse side, to the top of the gear leg tower, and then to the fuse floor, and now the brake line...
