Brief Description:  Left brake line redo

I need to order the adel clamps to finish the parking brake cable so I pivoted to the brake lines. They need to be redone since they have weathered various changes in architecture on both ends. I changed the fittings under the baggage shelf to include the parking brake and it made it so that the original lines do not fit now. I had to re-bend them to kinda-make them fit after the ends moved, but the right brake line was rubbing on the gear tower and was not airworthy and the left side just looked bad. So, tonight I rebuilt the left brake line and did some clean up. I can't actually fit it to the bottom fitting where it connects to the landing gear fitting until the landing gear is installed again. I am also evaluating whether or not to mount the parking brake cable thru the gear tower or mount it with the brackets - so it also makes sense to find out where the brake line will be, so as to understand the best place to put the PB cable.
