My brake lines were completed a while back. Last week I reviewed the whole works due to the hard line vs braided thread.
While viewing CJ's photos I noticed the AN837-4D fitting at the fuse exit point as 45 degree angle. However, I used a "straight" through fitting as shown on the figure on page 36-2. That page indeed calls out the same part number, but the diagram shows the part as the straight through variety.
Checking the description on Vans website, AN837-4D is described as "45 deg elbow bulkhead tube/tube". Checking page 47-07 in the plans shows the part as 45 degrees, not straight through. I'm assuming the correct fitting is the 45 degree part, right? Maybe it doesn't matter.
So page 36-2 has correct part number, but not correct diagram. Maybe Vans fixed the plans after mine was printed?

Jay

Not a 100% conclusive answer, but mine is 45 degree and I
thought that was called for on my plans. Seems to work well.
Most important is that you have a connection that will be
more stress free and allow a little flex with no issue.
That's why they wrap the tube around the axle too....like
a strain relief, instead of just going down and over.

I used the 45 degree fitting also. I guess I paid attention to the part number and not the picture. The 45 degree seems to align it more parallel with the gear leg. i guess you will know for sure if you are short two straight fittings and have two extra 45 degree fittings:-)

It is a slightly confusing drawing. I noticed the struggle in the
drawing with correctly portraying a 45 degree fitting in a roughly 45
degree isometric drawing. You can't tell whether it is 90 or 45 degrees.
I put the 45 degree part in based on the part list/web site documentation.
