December 22, 2007 - Com Antenna Cable, Brake lines 

I worked some more on the wire & cable runs -- sorry for the blurry picture.  Those two wire/cable bundles may not look like much but they represent a lot of effort and time!  The right bundle now includes the Com antenna cable.
 
Here's the antenna end of the Com antenna cable.  I wanted to be able to get to it in flight -- the idea being that I could hook up a hand-held radio to the antenna if desired. 
 
 The antenna cable, and its terminal, has to be able to go through the panel, so I drilled a 3/4" hole and put a snap-bushing in it.
 
I turned my attention to finishing up the brake lines in the forward cabin area.  I secured all lines to the brake pedal units. 
 
Then I ran the nylon tubing to the brake resevoir -- not seen, it's on the other side of the firewall -- using the Nylo-Seal connectors supplied with the kit.  I like the Nylo-Seals.  Quick and easy to hook up.
 

I drilled some holes to run the nylon tubes through for support.  Per the drawings. 

That pretty much takes care of the brake system aft of the firewall.  I still have to run aluminum tubing from the firewall, down the gear legs, to the brakes themselves.  Yeah, really looking forward to bending more aluminum tubing.  Not!
