Jul 17, 2021 Brake Line Installation Under the Seat Category: Brake System
Began installation of the Brake Lines. I ordered custom Stainless Braid Teflon fluid lines from TS Flightlines. They seem to be very good quality and so far Tom Swearengen has been very helpful and great to work with. Van's instructions start out having you enlarge a hole on the hole on the bottom skin to 5/8" to accommodate a AN837-4D 45 degree nipple through the Gear Support. Then I started with the under seat lines. The lines rest in the bottom half of the System Bracket. I split a plastic bushing to protect the brake lines. After the fuel lines are installed another top half of the bracket is installed. The fuel lines will also be placed on this bracket with another part of the bracket installed on top to secure it all. The brake lines go inward to the tunnel and are routed through the tunnel skin with a AN833-4D 90 degree nipple. The tunnel brake lines are routed forward toward the firewall, under the heat duct tee and between the Heater Bypass Valves and bend up and over to the Parking Brake Valve.
