F24 Brake Line Routing

Post by Matt & Patty »

'Can anyone out there provide some photos of the correct brake line routing for the F24? Mine are a mess and I am in the process of replacing all of the lines from the master cylinders to the wheels. I have looked at a couple of 24s and they each had the lines routed differently. I not sure how the flexible line can make the bend from the fixed clamp on the fuselage to the tube coming in from the gear leg. The bend required just seems too tight and would potentially create a restriction in the line.

Also. Are there serviceable limits for the clearance between the brake pads and the drum on Hayes brakes? The book says to set them up at .007 to .010". That's fine but what about when they start to wear? .003" is nothing and it seems you would be replacing pads constantly.

Thanks,
