I have no part labeled VA 188 but do have a VA 118 which came with the finish kit. These lines go from pedals to firewall connection. My plans also call for aluminum tube from gear mount to wheel brake. I have considered flexible for this connection.

I had good success with the following:
 
was the inner surface of the eyeball to act as a release agent.
seal the opening with black rtv on the surface of the "flapper" that moves toward open.
when cured gently open and trim excess.  no leaks.

I called Vans this morning and they told me the brake lines come in the finishing kit . The fellow who answered my call couldn't understand the logic of " why the finishing kit not the fuselage kit" either. It sure looks like it would be easier now than after I have stacked a bunch of aluminum on top of the pedals. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Castor" Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 9:41 AM Subject: Re: RV9-List: Brake lines > > Wayne, > I'm at the same placeinstalling brake lines.

You will still have access to the brake/rudder pedals for a long time but it easier to do now. Don't rivet on the front deck until you are absolutely sure you don't or won't need any more access to the front area.
