| Subject: | Brake line clips |
I'm building a 601XLB. Zenith calls out a brake line clip to hold the brake
lines to the gear. They suggest part # 024-0030. Has anyone located a source
for these, or perhaps a better alternative?
I considered using Adel clamps, or something similar, but that seems a little
kludgey.

Jim,
Adel clamps may be kludgey, but they stay. I have pictures of the ZAC demo 601XL
from both 2006 and 2008 where it is obvious the self-adhesive clips come off
with regularity and new ones were re-applied.
An archive search should find where someone made a trailing edge sleeve out of
aluminum that encased almost all the brake line run. I remember where someone
just used 600 MPH tape and basically did the same thing.
I am currently flying with the adel clamps and am happy with them.
Good luck,
--------

Jim,
I used "home made" clips from .016" 6061-T6. I made a female form in a
2 x 4 and pounded the aluminum strip into the form with a long bolt shaft
into the brake line bead, then with a larger pipe for the gear leg part.
The photo is a crude one I just made to give you an idea what I am talki
ng about. I used three per gear leg. I originally applied them with JBWe
ld, but that didn't last long. I re-applied them with a regular epoxy and
they stayed on.

To my friends on all the Matronics lists that have helped me in many ways
over the years.
Some of you I have met in person, so many that I have never met but have
been with me
through this project since 2002.
I just want to say thank you for the encouragement, help, sound advice, in
formation, photos, drawings, parts, ideas, techniques, web sites, lessons
learned, stories, debates, Scotchbrite advice,humor and especially the fr
iendships.
Many of you don't even know how much you've helped, but your contribution
and presence on the lists
have been a tremendous help.
Yesterday, I had my inspection completed and received my airworthiness cer
tificate. I'm surrounded by
many experienced pilots at Spadaro Airport in Long Island, NY to help me
through the next phase of this
adventure/dream/crazy idea. Thanks Matt Dralle for making it all happen he
re.
I especially want to thank these people from the lists.

On March 11, 2004 I started building my Corvair Powered Zenith 601XL. Today, N56DV
took it's first flight. Whoo-hoo!!! I shouldn't have been surprised by
the heavy left wing, as I've been reading about it for years, but it was heavier
than I expected on takeoff, needing full aileron trim. Otherwise, no major
issues. Now, 39 1/2 more phase 1 hours to go. Thanks go out to the Corvair
and Zenith building communities. I've made many friends over the past six years
and each and every one of them helped me along the way. Special thanks to
Woody Harris, Rick Lindstrom, William Wynne and Doug Dugger. Pictures and video
to follow.
