Fuel lines / Brakes

Fuel lines

Today I ran the remaining fuel lines to the selector valve, including all AN fittings. Had to remake one of the shorter lines, and also adjusted the two front pillar lines for length. Reluctant to make too many changes as I don’t know exactly how it will interface with the wing/tank fittings until the wings are on,

Brakes

Unpacked all AN -4 fittings to plan the brake system, also the Matco park brake valve and the Grove reservoir. Loosely installed AN fittings into the brake cylinders and brake calipers. Still to decide the location of the park brake valve and reservoir. Reservoir will go on the firewall inside the engine compartment, but I need to ensure it doesn’t clash with other fittings. Planning to put the park brake valve on the inside lower firewall and minimise hard brake lines.
