    Subject: Brake lines
    From: Jerry Hey <j-winddesigns@thegrid.net>
    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: Jerry Hey <j-winddesigns@thegrid.net> I want to install new brake lines in N6 PJ. The present set up is aluminum line from the master cylinders with about a 12 inch nylon tail at the wheels. I want to renew the nylon tubing primarily because one of the fittings is cracked and the tubing has been in service for a long time. First question is which nylon tube is recommended for brakes, Nylo-Seal or Nylaflow? Are the Poly-flo fittings (recommended by ACS) the way to go with the nylon tubing? Concerning the length of the tubing, how much "slack" is added to the tubing to accommodate gear flexing. Thanks, Jerry

    Subject: Brake lines
    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: Malcolm.Lovelace@CooperTools.com Jerry, I use the Nyaflow nylon tubing SK 8201-3/16 from Wicks. You need to use the 268 or 269 male connectors or elbows. Also make sure you also use the 2030x4 brass insert. As far as the amount of slack just make sure it does not pinch the line on either end when the gear moves.

I ffinally got regular brass fittings with the nylon ferrals and haven't any more problems. I just left a "little" slack in mine to allow for movement.

    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Jim Clement" <168x@merr.com> Jerry, Use what Malcolm stated but leave yourself plenty of slack so you can cut the fitting nuts off later if needed and add new ones. It seems if they ever leak it will be at the compressed area of tube and fitting nut. Nuts are available without buying the complete fitting assy.

    Subject: Re: Brake lines
    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "cgalley" <cgalley@qcbc.org> I am not a fan of plastic lines. Couple of years ago we had an RV-4 that had a brake problem. Why? Because the plastic line melted. Why did it melt? The line was a bit too long and rested against the metal wheel pant bracket. It got hot and melted a hole in the line. Fluid came out and it was a taildragger. Fortunately, the brakes got hot from the long taxi at Oshkosh so it was on the ground when he could no longer steer the plane. So if you have extra tube length make sure it doesn't touch where it could get hot.

    Subject: Re: Brake lines
    --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Jim Clement" <168x@merr.com> Keep the extra slack at the master cylinder end not the wheel end. Also a good idea is to slip another short piece of soft plastic tubing over the brake line in the brake disk area.
