Be afraid, Be very afraid. The most excellent way to support Nylaflow brake
lines is to remove them, place them on the floor and walk away without
looking back.

Think about that little piece of translucent plastic. Now think about how
easy it would be, over time, to abrade, kink or chemically assault it. Now
think about that little reservoir of red fluid and how easy that much oil
could go unnoticed. Now think about touching down at 80Kts on a 2500 foot
runway and having only one brake working. Now think about a new prop, engine
overhaul, new wing tip, insurance adjusters and the FAA climbing up your
backside with a clipboard. Now think about what a stupid s**t you will feel
like for not spending a couple of hundred bucks to do it right.

Replace ALL Nylaflow brake line with either hardline OR DH Instruments DH400
High Pressure Flexible Tubing. I found these guys many years ago when I was
designing hydraulic robots. There is a PDF brochure available at their web
site www.dhinstruments.com. I would recommend using the F13737-XX series.
The -60 length works well in the gear leg.

So as not to be a complete waste, you can use the Nylaflow in your aquarium
;)
