No lift struts on my airplane at this time, but the mounting lugs are there.And with regard to the brass inserts for the nylon brake line tubing, I knew about that already since it's clearly shown in the Wicks catalog and of course Tony Bingelis' book points that out as well. I was just a little leery of overtightening the fittings onto the tubing but also didn't want the tubing to pop out under hard braking. The Nylo-seal fittings say to stab the tubing into the fitting and tighten 2 to 2-1/2 turns but the brass fittings say no such thing. I'll just use my best judgement.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
