Brief Description:  Fabricating/installing the wheel brake lines

I fabricated the wheel brake lines from 1/4 inch aluminum tube. Following the Van's design, I ran the lines down the back of the strut, then bent a coil around the strut and into the cylinder.

Images 2 and 3 show white zip-ties holding the line to the gear leg. I replaced those with black UV-resistant zip ties. I also ran those lines inside a length of clear nylon tubing to give them strength and stress relief.
