Replacement Brake Lines?
Hello,
I have a legacy -12 with the aluminum brake lines and they are corroding. I thought I saw on here that there is someone who makes brake hoses. Am I correct? Contact info?
Thank you

corrode
What do you mean, they are corroding: outside, or inside? What's the age of your plane, please?

I changed to Aircraftspecialty lines on mine because the aluminum ones would cause the caliper to drag and squeak if they weren’t bent just right. The flexible lines solved that.

I changed to Aircraft Specialties braided teflon brake lines because I fly off grass runway. Tall weeds at TO and landing speeds will damage soft aluminum brake lines....

Hans,
I have a 2011. I live in Florida. The outside of the lines are corroding. |

Hi Jack, Steve and I have tried to make this process easier by ordering directly off our website store, https://aircraftspecialty.com/rv-12.html. Just choose RV12 gear legs, add to cart, and check out.

Thanks for the info. My CI is next month and I will probably do it then.
