14A LGC gear brake line routing

[thehagg501]

Unless anyone has a better idea, I have 2 routing options to run the lower brake line to Beringer calipers. I prefer the upper route if it won't interfere with the wheel fairing. Any constructive criticism is welcome. See pics.

I'm actually working with Tom at AS. Like I said in my OP, would routing the line on the upper side interfere with the fairing?

Hi Dwight, different gear, different caliper and mounting orientation. His actually covers the lower port in the gear leg, no matter how he rotates it so the holes align. Its been alittle bit of a mystery.

What does LGC advise? They make a landing gear for the A model?

Does anyone have any experience with this company???

I spoke with Jim, the owner of LCG, suggested a new brake line can be drilled on the side of the gear between the axle bolts. This is a common practice when the brake hole exiting the bottom of the gear has interference issues.

So back to my earlier question about the line routing. I used a red wire to simulate brake like routing, would routing around the upper location work with the wheel fairing mounted?
