Have an S1S/T project with the grove spring gear that I have a couple questions on. This particular grove gear has a channel grove on the aft side all the way down to glue the hard lines into. First question is where do you other spring gear guys put your fuel vent tube?

Next, how are you routing the flexible lines from each master cylinder to the hard lines that are on the aft side of the gear? Are you going between the gear and the fire wall or over the top and then down aft of the gear?

Lastly, I’ll be doing the remote fluid reservoir on the fire wall per the plans. In my plans from the bulkhead tee that comes through the fire wall there is a line that then goes up to the fluid reservoir. That line is called the “brake supply line 1-231-23”, however I’m having trouble finding what material that line is? Is it aluminum 5052-O? Or something else.

Appreciate all the help I can get, and if there is anyone out there with a spring gear willing to take pictures that would REALLY be appreciated!
