Brief Description:  Tubing: Brake Lines 6: High Pressure Lines

To finish the brake line runs I mounted the fluid resevoir and routed the high pressure lines from the pilots pedals to the resevoir. I don't have brakes on the co-pilot side. Experience in my Cherokee says I don't need brakes on co-pilot side and that in fact they are more of a liability because passengers accidentally step on them.

I painted the brake resevoir with silver engine paint good to 500 degrees. Wow it is really shinny.

I cut the high pressure lines to length. This is done for now.

I don't have the pipes that go from the pedals to the fittings on the firewall. Maybe they come with the finishing kit. If not, I'll have to order some.

I removed all this and the pedals until after I finish the forward covers and paint the interior. Then I'll put them back in before I work on the top forward skins.
