Has anyone found a more robust tubing and connector to use between the brake master cylinders? The 3/16" nylaflow tubing supplied in the kit looks like a weak point. I understand that Brent and other builders have replaced the tubing in the gear legs with a product from DH Instruments. What tubing is being used between master cylinders.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> I would also like to find some more robust brake line tubing for my L360. That 3/16" nylaflow tubing I got with my kit is really weak looking stuff. The design probably works. Lancair probably figures about 100psi max with that Matco plunger which looks like about 1/2 square inch (assuming a pilot can not put more than 200lbs pressure on each toe brake) However, I think that stuff gets brittle with age, and does not withstand much bending. Also, I think it gets really brittle in the cold, and soft with heat. Does anyone know about that? Is there any advantage to the Nylaflow other than low cost? Regards, Ed Armstrong Watsonville CA
