Brief Description:  Brake Line Attached to Struts

Fabricated a couple of mounts to secure the brake lines to the aft edges of the main landing gear. To do this I purchased two 1-foot sections of aluminum tube with an inner diameter that was slightly larger than the 0.25" outer diameter of the brake lines. I then fashioned a couple of clips to secure the tube to the gear strut by:
- Cutting four 60mm x 20mm .025 6016 T6 aluminum stripts out of a sheet
- Curling the strips around the aluminum pipe using a table vise
- Filing and sanding all sharp edes and corners from the curled strips
- Filing and sanding all edges from the aluminum tubes
- Attaching two strips to each tube, 25mm from each end using J.B. Weld epoxy
- Threading the brake lines through the tubes and securing the ends to the brakes.

Left to-do:
- Securing the brackets to the inboard side of the gear struts using 3M Scotch Mount Automobile molding tape.
