Worked on brakes: 3 hours


  • Worked on fitting brakes. I found that the left brake pins were binding so I used the shop crane to lift the plane and remove the wheel. I was able to eliminate the binding by flipping the orientation of the brake mounting plate - easy fix.
  • Installed the AN elbow fittings in the brake calipers
  • Ran the Bonaco brake lines and secured with self fusing tape and several adel clamps. I used my adel clamp pliers and I'm impressed with how well they work. They are going to be very handy after we hang the engine.


Brake lines permanently installed:

Calipers and wheel will get fully installed after wheel pants are fitted:

Adel clamp pliers work great:
