Worked on installing the brake calipers and the brake lines from the gear let to the calipers.
First was installing and properly clocking the fittings for the brake lines in the calipers.
Super easy to install the calipers. They are now provided with Nordloc washers instead of needing safety wire. This is my first time using/trusting them. My understanding is that they are the bee's knees and that they work as advertised. We will see!
Next is fabricating up two short brake lines to connect the gear leg fitting to the calipers.
I would much prefer braided teflon hoses for this job but I have to build per the KAI. Once certified I can switch them out. Aircraft Specialty/TS Flightlines sells a nice kit that makes this a no brainer.
Pilot side done. I just shaped the hoop by hand and made it look like the KAI drawing as much as I could.
Co-pilot side done.
These came out looking pretty good.
