Brief Description:  Brake hose bracket/tail light wiring

Tonight I made up a small bracket to help guide and support the stainless steel brake hoses that run from the brake cylinders on each pedal back up to the reservoir. I mounted the bracket against the left gear tower forward face and adel clamps hold the hoses secure. At some point later I will need to primer the bracket and rivet it to the gear tower. Jackie came out and provided a useful extra pair of hands while doing this.

Also, we finally got around to running the wires down the fuselage for the whelan tail light. I ran them along with the strobe wires down the right-hand side. What actually took the time was removing the snap-bushings in the F811 and F-812 bulkheads and finding/installing suitably sized grommets, as the snap bushings didn't have enough space to run the extra wires, and I didn't want to drill any more holes. Actually, I need to cable tie everything back up tomorrow night.

I think the only things left to go down the fuselage now are the ELT aerial and the AFS remote magnetometer. I tell you what, I think the fuselage must have shrunk over time, 'cos I sure don't remember it being that narrow last time I was down teh back there!
