After much thought and discussion regarding the brake lines in the 360 this
is what I have decided to do. Custom made 666-4 flex hose from the brake
master cylinders to a point near the intersection of the firewall and the
nose wheel tunnel.At this point I intend to run 1/4" 5052 aluminum line
down through the center console, along the forward face of the aft spar,
through the aft endof the cockpit closeout rib and then into a bulkhead
fitting in the partial rib out in the wheel well. From this bulkhead
fitting I will then run 666-4 flex hose down to the brake assembly with
attachment to the main landing gear leg with adel clamps
Questions:
Is there an obvious fault in this design that I'm overlooking?.
Is 1/4" line overkill?
Is a parking brake a desireable option? If so how does that affect the
installation of the brake lines?
Thanks for all your input and suggestions
Regards,
Doug
