Concur on the stainless braided Teflon lines. Initially replaced the manufacturers suggested nylon lines on the Glastar. When confronted with the Vans plans for the soft aluminum hard lines, immediately switched to the Teflon lines. No need to let 5606 anywhere near a hot brake. The resulting fire may cost an airplane. I secured mine with three Adel clamps. No problem flying with the leg fairings off.

David, did you make a big 270° loop with your Teflon lines like Tim did recently, or did you just make a big 90° loop?What is the need for the big loop with flexible lines? - I don't say it's not necessary, I just don't understand.

It's to allow you enough excess line to remove the caliper without having to disconnect the brake line.

And it will prevent fracture of the aluminum tubing at the B nut way down the line. The big loop is there to take the stress off when the caliper moves ..... but I think the culprit just may be high frequency vibrations (chatter?) from using the brakes. Having said that, there are a whole lot of certificated airplanes out there with the tubing bent 90 degrees and attached to the caliper ..... and the percentage of catastrophic failures is fairly low. For me, however, it's just not worth the risk of having oneself become part of the statistical group.  YMMV, of course!!!
