Hey Guys,
I would strongly urge the use of heavy wall nyflo tubing. I used the kit
that came with my Clevland brake package back in '04 and while taxi testing it
became apparent that there was a problem with brake fade. It took another year
until I met someone else that had the issue and resolved it by changing the
tubing. It really was a nerve racking chore trying to repull new tubing thru a
finished plane. The new plane in the shop is getting 1/8" tubing installed this
week. I also bought the matco cylinders with the longer stroke.

I installed a 90 degree fitting right at the
bottom of the gear leg to avoid a loop /
kink. Works for me. I also put "spiral tube
protector" from just above the bottom of the leg
to the brake caliper. I've not had to add fluid
in the 13 years I've been flying the KR. I
probably ought the change the fluid, just because.....................
