F 24 brake line routing

Post by Matt & Patty »

'Anyone have some photos of the correct brake line routing for the F24? I have looked at three aircraft and each one has the lines done a little differently. My books only show the piece parts and not how they all go together. I would like to see it from the master cylinders to the gear legs. I am replacing all of the lines and would like to put them back the way they were originally routed. Having difficulty figuring out how the bend was made from the fixed frame clamp, to the rigid line coming from the gear leg. It seems way to tight of a 90° bend for the flexible hose.

Also ... is there a serviceable limit for clearance between the brake pads and the drum for Hayes brakes. The book says .007" to .010" for set up. What about after some wear and use? You have to lose some material over time and you can't constantly replace the pads every time you have a few thou of wear.

Appreciate any help ...
