This afternoon I completed some things that have been
left undone. I started by installing the
brake lines. It was pretty interesting
to bend the ¼" aluminum tubing to route it from the connection on the
outboard gear connection bracket to the disk brake caliper on each of the main
gear wheels. I was able to tighten the
fluid fitting on the aluminum tubing. I
still need to tighten the fluid fitting connecting the poly brake line to the
bracket. I need to purchase a stubby
7/16 wrench so I can tighten that fitting.
I split the
plastic tubes and installed them on the brake lines with wire ties.
I installed the
steps on each side of the fuselage.
I attached the
fuel sender wire (orange/brown) to the sending unit on the fuel tank. I also installed a ring connector to the
ground wire on the fuel tank and attached it to the airframe. I used the Adel clamp bolt which holds the
electrical conduit in the cross channel.
I also attached the VHF and transponder antennas to the bottom of the
fuselage.
