Clearance Issue

So when making the holes for the landing gear, I made them a little to large and now i don't have enough clearance to make the 5/8" holes for the brake lines without it getting really really close if not all the way to the larger landing gear hole. I am hosed? or is there something i should do?:(

I can't see your picture on FB, but if I recall correctly the brake line fitting is secured to the gear weldment on a 7A, not the skin. If so, I would think you could just open one end of the 5/8" skin hole all the way to your over sized gear leg whole without issue. Of course check with Van's, but I don't think this is a big deal.
 
Thanks, you are right the fitting is secured to the gear weldment, i just was not sure. I emailed Vans as well. Waiting for an answer before i move on.
