Jun 14, 2023     Brake Lines/Pitot Fuselage Bulkheads - (4 hours)       Category: Fuselage
From the gear leg into the side fuselage, installed AN fittings and steel braided lines to go to the center T fitting. Will install the T fitting and center channel line later after removing the cross bracing jigs and can determine final run path through floor ribs. Rather than drilling additional holes for brake line inside fuselage, found some grommets that fit the lightening hole size and then used clear tubing to secure in middle hole.

Left a fair amount of slack in the outside line to account for gear leg flex on landing and to keep the bend radius larger so the line can flex over a longer section. The clear tubing on the outside brake line is not really for protecting the line but rather allowing it to flex up and down the sidewall more easily than the steel braided line by itself.

Installed nylo-seal bulkhead union on the left side for pitot/aoa lines to come into the fuselage. There are small inserts that go inside of the 1/4 tubing so when tightening the nut it does not collapse the tube and prevent sealing.
