Hi! Richard.
I wouldn't be without my toe brakes.
The pipes route up and to the port side where there is a hand brake valve
near the naca cold air vent. Then they travel under the port side door sill
to the front of the baggage bay . The Port brake goes out down the main gear
leg whilst the Starboard one travels across the rear tank bulkhead down the
starboard side main gear leg. I have installed unions and adapters where
they pass through the fusilage floor. Then if a pipe fails all you have to
change is the length of the leg.

Subject: Europa-List: brake pipe routing
I have finally given up waiting for the finger brakes and am currently
installing the toe brakes on my tri gear, with a view to converting to the
finger brakes once they are sorted from the factory. Can anyone help with
the routing of the piping? It looks from the manual as if I should take it
down the starboard side and across the front of the seats. But is that along
the floor, just above the top of the tufnol bearing or just under the top of
the thigh support? Or somewhere else completely?
Cheers.
