Default Tip: Plastic brake line assembly
Here are a couple threads on how to assemble the plastic brake lines that Vans supplies with their kits.

Please pay attention, and get this step correct, it is a lot easier and cheaper than fixing a plane that gets bent from a brake failure.

I found it interesting that with my new kit there was no brass anymore. Just a hard plastic insert similar in shape to the brass, except it easily slips in the tube with room to spare... Hum wonder if that's going to work?
