Hi David; I have the same problem with the air hoses, and have been fitting brackets but not the hoses on recent cars. Are you using the HO rubber Hi-Tec hoses or some other brand?
I did say the cut levers were "seen" as being easily damaged; I'll know better once I start operating sessions if they survive. The point remains that we can't blame "Flyer" for the lack of these details in S, because HO doesn't often have them except as after-market parts either. Pieter E.
