I am about to run the hydraulic brake lines and wondering how other builders run the tubes and how to anchor the brake tubes outside the fuselage along the landing gear? I suppose drilling holes in the landing gear to put in anchors isn't a good idea?

Lots of builders have used ADEL clamps and drilled/tapped into the landing gear. Seems have ZAC approval.

John,
Attached is how I did mine. I procured the 3M double sided automotive trim tape from the aeroplane parts section of the local WalMart. (I ran the brake lines through the center spar, adel clamped going in and coming out and with ribbed conduit to prevent any chaffing/interference. Grommet through the side skins.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Another guy in my hangar did this first, so I take no credit for the idea.. We "armored" the plastic tubes with lengths of 1/4 inch aluminum tubing, running it from secured points a few inches from the master cylinders, then bent the tubing as needed, until running it out the side and down the rear of the leg. A little flare at each end keeps the tubing from chafing. He used Adel clamps on his, but since I am using CZAW composite legs, I used a worm-drive band clamp at the top, courtesy of the aviation department at Ace Hardware, and a fabricated standoff at the bottom of the leg. Looks better than naked plastic tubing, and protects from rocks. It's easier if you run the plastic into the tubing before bending.
To those who pointed out how to make the forward sweep "disappear". I ain't got no nosewheel, so it's back to carpentry and build me some blocks to lift the mains. Thanks.
