Brake line routing through fabric

[neville]

I used plastic cable fairings from Aircraft Spruce. Put in two sets, one for trigrear and one for tail wheel.

Thanks guys, this has been helpful. The Grove gear is different on my model 5. It doesn't have the threaded hole and gun drilling like yours does. You have a nice solid point on the gear leg to attach the line to.

My gear leg just has a half round flute cut out on the trailing edge of the gear leg that the brake line gets glued in. The instructions say to make a hole in the fabric, glue a rubber grommet in the hole and use brass elbows through the grommet. The problem is that the Nyaflow brake line is really stiff and is going to put pressure on the grommet and fabric. I'm concerned about it pulling out or tearing the fabric.

I think I need to glue some aluminum to the fabric like Jeff (N85AE) said and create a hard point to solidly attach the brass elbows.
