Brief Description: Gear / Brake line decision, tweak fuel lines
I have some logistics to solve with the Grove one-piece gear as the brake line inlet is on the top of the gear. So I have to figure out the best way to route the brake line down into the gear tower to the gear inlet and be able to tighten the fittings.
I rolled the canoe over and set the landing gear in position on the plates. The plates are 1/4" thick, so the distance between the gear and the gear tower floor is 1/4". Since, I can't get the opening on the fuse wider than about 2" to slide the gear in, I decided that the best thing to do is to put the smaller fitting in the gear, which should allow me to still get the gear in with the 2" limit and that should run far enough into the gear tower to be able to tighten the fittings. Thanks to Jared and Bob for the consultation :)
The fuel tube running from the filter to the pump runs thru the gear tower and is somewhat interfering in the future brake line location so I tweaked it a bit to the inside - that took some doing as I needed to remove some tubing and the filter but I got it all worked out and re-installed.
vertical line is the fule tube, hole on the left of that is the brake inlet
