Aircraft specialty brake install ?????

[JeremyL]

So I’m working on installing my cabin brake hose kit in a 7A and I’m becoming quite frustrated. They are well made, but came with zero instructions, nor can I find them on the website, I’m probably going to have to drill new holes for the grommets they sent which will create edge distance issues….. anyway…. Does anyone have pictures of how they routed the hoses and which end goes where. Maybe I’m just having one of those nights where seeing is worth a thousand words but it’s getting to me.

Thanks in advance

Jeremy, the brake hoses follow the plans, on page 36. Nothing special about the install. You can use one of the larger lightening holes on the F6118 to route the hoses if you wish. Not sure if the new F6118 have the lightening holes or whether they are still builder optional--mine weren't there---Easy fix.

As Tom mentioned...the lines follow the stock Vans installation except AN fittings are utilized in place of plastic compression fittings. There should have been a thank you slip inside the box with an email address for any questions, so please feel free to reach out if you have anything specific you would like to ask about them.

Here are a few pictures for you to help. If you're using a PB valve, that info is shown here too.

Please reach out via email with any questions to [email protected] or [email protected]

This is also a great opportunity to mention that we are changing a lot of our existing installation manuals and moving toward a video format. When we redid our web ordering and simplified our kits some old installation manuals went away, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

This!! This is exactly why I chose to go with you guys. Well, one of the top reasons. This was very helpful, so thank you. One of my slight issues was I have the upgraded rudder pedals which places the brake cylinders on the back side, so the hoses were a bit more tightly curved. Cutting some slits in the existing snap bushings made it possible to shove the hoses through them.

Thank you both very much for posting these responses, I sincerely appreciate it! I was definitely having one of those days where nothing was going right, so I just needed to put down the tools, grab some bourbon and regroup. I can send a video or pictures of the install if you want it.

Thanks again!

OH---you have Control Approach pedals. OK----minor changes due to the masters beiing on the forward side of the pedal bars, but similar to the plans. Check your email for more pics.
