Brief Description: Installed the Brake Reservoir to Master cylinder L
I installed my brake reservoir lines that I purchased from Tom Swearengen at TS Flightlines. I didnt want to use the plastic lines and fittings that come with the kit and deal with the potential problem of fluid leaks that many others have experienced. Tom I great to work with and I highly recommend his company. I am deviating from the plans some and installing my brake reservoir in the forward baggage compartment as others have done. The outer lines you see in picture #1 are the reservoir to master cylinder lines. You cant see from the pictures but the join together with a 90 degree elbow fitting, a union fitting and a T-fitting. These are zip tied to middle two brake lines. I also constructed a clamp or sandwich out of foam rubber and two pieces of sheet aluminium stock. I coppied this technique from the B-737 that I fly. The foam rubber was drilled for the brake lines and then split thru the middle thru the brake line holes. Then aluminum bent to hold the rubber block, drilled for #8 screws and dimpled. It turned out very secure. Ater that is was on to the forward top skin again to finish it up. My favorite helper came out to assist and learned to debur and dimple.
