I've been puzzling over routing the amphib brake line to the wheel
cylinder to minimize abrasion. At the very least I have to move the
brake line retainer on the side of the wheel well a bit more towards the
top of the float than the manual shows. However the line will still rub
the thick washer at the top of the doughnut/spring assembly with the
wheels down.

Unless someone has a better idea, my question is how often does the
plastic line have to be replaced due to abrasion or is it much of a
concern? Loss of brakes could end badly on the amphibs.

FWIW I've also used one size longer bolt than spec'd for most of the
main gear moving joints to get full engagement of the smooth bolt shanks
in the moving parts. Perhaps I'm too picky but these aluminum parts
don't have bushings and are not real easy to service or lubricate.
