One other thing I noted on Chuck Gantzer's website is that he is using Nylaflow tubing for his hydraulic brakes. I'm going to have to replace the existing aluminum brake line tubing on 41CC and was planning to use Nylaflow. I have some tubing and fittings that I've been messing with and it seems that if you snug down the fittings where you think they should be (without overtightening), the tubing is still so slick that you can pull the tubing from the fitting by hand.Any tips, tricks, or hints to using Nylaflow for brake lines?Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Oscar,There is a brass insert that goes in the end of the Nylaflow line. I couldn't find them in AS&S's catalog but Wicks has them. For my 3/16" line I ordered Wicks part no. 2030X4. I found this information on the Tailwind forum. I haven't given mine the final snug yet but this insert was a fix for the Tailwind boys. Keep us posted.Lynn KnollWichita, Piet/Vair in the works----- Original Message -----
