Yup, Tom's great. He's made some fuel lines, and brake pedal lines for me. Now I'm getting ready to order some new brake lines for the gear legs. The current lines are exerting a load that binds the caliper pins, so I want to switch to flexible lines. I'm unsure if should just do a short length from the caliper to the gear leg, or do the entire length up to the fuselage. Suggestions?

Charley, we have clients that do it both ways. Usually a 12 inch hose from the caliper up to a union and rigid tube to the airframe bulkhead fitting. And the more conventional plans way with a 1 piece teflon hose.

+1. I ordered a complete fuel and brake line kit from Tom for my -10 build. Fast, responsive service and a beautiful product. I would easily recommend Tom to any builder, and will be a repeat customer for any future lines I need.
