Brief Description:  Brake Lines - Left

Way overdue but can finally address the brake lines from the pedal hose fittings to the gear flex hoses.

Disassembled the fuel selector housing, and removed the brackets that attach to the (faux) spa. Used the unibit to enlarge the top hole to 7/16" and inserted a 1/4" plastic grommet. Measured and bent some 1/4" solft AL tubing of approx length. Fed it through and hole in the gear tower and then relaized it needed a rubber grommet, which was difficult to insert but did it. Worked with the tubing to pass thru the spar attach hole, and straight along floor center section. Bent it by hand using a spring to the left brake fitting on the left FW.

Drilled a hole for the bulkhead fitting in the floor forward of the left gear tower where the fitting outside will be covered by a fairing. Cut ends to fit flare positions, flared with sleeve and nut on tubing. Blew out any shavings from lines and handtightened to secure.
