Brake lines

[Mike Betti]

Hi all,
The brake lines that run down along the gear legs, can the leg be drilled and tapped for a 6-32 and a rubberized clamp to secure or am I setting up for a future disaster?
Thanks,

I have been puzzling over different ways to split the brake line to feed the
two pucks on my SR. I know at least one builder is going straight to one
puck then daisy chain over to the other puck but that requires a line
exiting the bottom of one puck. If you use a tee before the pucks somewhere
then the lines go into the top of each puck. I am wondering if I could hear
what others have done. Pics would be awesome if you can manage it. Thanks.

It's been suggested to me that I install a short piece of aluminum line
next to my brake cylinders to act as a thermal break and keep my plastic
lines from overheating. Supposedly sometimes these lines swell and burst
right near the fitting and it's believed that too much heat is the problem.
Does this make any sense to you guys and has anyone had a plastic brake
line fail at the wheel cylinder. I imagine it's only an issue with fast
landing planes but maybe something I should worry about on my floats since
keeping straight taxiing in a crosswind can take a lot of braking as well.

I'm in the process of fitting the brake lines from the master cylinders to the gear legs, In what way are you exitting the cabin area? I would like to use a 90 degree fitting the flex tubing on down the gear leg.

Can't seem to come up with a 90 bulkhead fitting to use with the brass nylaflow plastic lines.

Does anyone have any input for this?

Thanks
