I'm building a 601XLB. Zenith calls out a brake line clip to hold the brake 

lines to the gear. They suggest part # 024-0030. Has anyone located a source 

for these, or perhaps a better alternative?



I considered using Adel clamps, or something similar, but that seems a little 

kludgey.

Jim,



Adel clamps may be kludgey, but they stay.  I have pictures of the ZAC demo 601XL from both 2006 and 2008 where it is obvious the self-adhesive clips come off with regularity and new ones were re-applied.



An archive search should find where someone made a trailing edge sleeve out of aluminum that encased almost all the brake line run.  I remember where someone just used 600 MPH tape and basically did the same thing.



I am currently flying with the adel clamps and am happy with them.



Good luck,

Jim,

   

   I used "home made" clips from .016" 6061-T6.    I made a female form in a 2 x 4 and pounded the aluminum strip into the form with a long bolt shaft into the brake line bead, then with a larger pipe for the gear leg part.  The photo is a crude one I just made to give you an idea what I am talking about.  I used three per gear leg.  I originally applied them with JBWeld, but that didn't last long.  I re-applied them with a regular epoxy and they stayed on.

The brake line fairing is made from a piece of Vinyl Gutter Guard from Home Depo.  Attach with Gorrilla Glue. (URETHANE GLUE)



Looked like a good idea to me.
