Hey all, a question for those who have used the Bonaco lines.

I'm about to install the brake lines that run from the calipers, up the gear legs to the bottom of the fuse.  Looking at the AN822-4D caliper fitting, it appears it will face forward, and the line will run up the leg on the forward side?  Any other options?

 



Second question, what did you use to secure the brake line to the gear leg?  The lines do have the anti-chafe covering.  I was thinking self fusing tape?

Thx,  Rick

I used friction tape.  I think it was called out in the plans.  I first used plans built hard lines but changed to the Bonaco lines after I developed a leak in one of the hard lines.

Same for me, one of my per-plans lines failed at about 1000 hours.

  I used fusion tape around the legs for anti-chafe, then zip ties to attach the flex lines.

These are an awesome product. After messing around with the soft aluminum lines, I bit the bullet and bought the Bonaco lines. They are great for both fuel and brakes. I used flex silicone tape for securing the lines. It is impervious to fuel, grease, oil, heat, and has ok anti chafe properties.

Hey Airmike, I'm having trouble locating self fusing tape here in S. Ontario. Can you tell me where you purchased the silicone tape?

Thx, Rick

Black electrical tape secures my Bonaco flex lines nicely. I don't have oil or fuel in my gear legs.
