RV-9A: Project Entry

Started on the Brake Lines
I thought the fuel vent lines were tough, but the brake lines win the boobie prize for being the biggest pain in the arss. I started out by going in through the middle section under the fuel switch, but then realized that I wouldn't have room to do the flare on the end of the tube that goes out to the brakes. Back it out, back it out... cuss, cuss, cuss, Ah! I feel better know. I knew then that I had to go ahead and put on the fittings and do the flare ahead of time on the brake end of the tubing and run the tubing from the outside brake fitting, through the gear mount, under the fuel selector valve and out to the front fitting on the firewalll.
