put together the brake lines & fittings, worked great. Not sure How I'll permanently secure the lines to the gear leg yet. Shown are the Zenith plastic sticky-back clamps.

Mark, I think the SS braided lines & AL tubing are superior. However, the nylon lines are really easy to run, I have access panels in place so I can get to them easily, and a total change out would not take me more than a couple of hours to do should they ever fail.

How are you feeling about those nylon lines for brakes?  I'm thinking of going metal on the outside and braided line inside.  It just seems that if the plastic line cracks or something it would be a pain to fix later on...
