Brief Description:  Brake lines from reservoir to pedals

I worked on the flexible tubing brake lines that run from the brake reservoir down to the master cyliners at the rudder pedals. Now I have the brake system complete down to the end of the landing gear - later on when the gear is on, I will route the tubing out the bottom of the gear and to the brake calipers on the wheels.

I thought the flexible tubing was going to be a big deal but like other things, research and follow the instructions and it goes pretty smooth. The fitting at the pedals is a compression fitting while the upper fitting is a one way tubing - very good design. I need to zip tie the tubes together and to the aluminum tubing so it's not loose, but other than that, done.
