In the LIV this line never sees daylight. It is not exposed. The brake failures you mention were from nylaflow which continued all the way to the brake caliper. The application I'm talking about replaces only the nylaflow in the cockpit and down the LIV gear leg (internally). Externally from the axel to the brake will be the standard Lancair supplied brake line. In this manner there is no temperature rise, and no UV exposure. Marshall Michaelian (SQL)
