This is the rear float attach fitting. The float bar (strut material is used) attaches to the rear hole on the 4130 steel angle "L" that replaces your 6061-T6 "L" that presently holds the main gear spring on the CH750.

Comment
I think it is the same type. It has .035 wall thickness and 425 psi working pressure. It runs front to the nose gear and back to the main gear under the walkway. It would be a pain-in-the-ass to change out the line but double in 1/2 a day.
Is that the same type of line used for the brakes? How hard would it be to change if it goes bad?
Notice 3 lines coming out of the float. Hydraulic in (lower wheels), hydraulic out (raise wheels), and a brake line. Before they get installed...a quick Endura paint job is in order (gloss white).
Can't wait to see these under your bird an the hook up. They look great!
