Title: Brake Line Installation in the Tunnel
Ran the brake lines up the tunnel toward the firewall today. The left line is slightly shorter for the bend up and over toward the Parking Brake Valve. Used three Adel Clamps on each side of the tunnel then up the firewall and through a hole on the rudder pedal brace. There is a nut plate in the center of the firewall for two Adel Clamps to route the hoses together. I removed three rivets on each side of the tunnel that were securing the forward floor and enlarged the holes to accept the screws for the clamps. I added a rubber grommet to hold the lines securely in the rudder pedal brace. The hardest part was the Adel Clamps. I used a technique I saw on EAA Hints for Homebuilders, where Dick Koehler used safety wire to hold the clamp together while installing it. I was concerned at first that the lines may be too long but after installation they seem to fit very well. So far a very clean installation. Kudos to Tom Swearengen at TS Flightlines.
