Routing Brake Cables Through the Rear Wall

Routing Brake Cables Through the Rear Wall

This section shows how we finally routed the brake cables through the rear wall to the wheels.

See also "Rudder and Brake Cables" for routing inside the plane and "Main Gear" for brakes on the wheel.


In routing the brake cables from the cabin to the wheel, we noticed a few sheathings were too long.

CAREFULLY, we pulled the cable toward the front of the sheathing (without pulling it out). Then, with the dremel cutting tool, we cut off the end that was too long (just the sheathing, not the cable).

The cable got caught on the rough end, so we used the de-burring tool to smoothe the opening.

Unfortunatley, because of the way we designed the rear wall, one of the brake cables did not fit through the "triangle".... So we routed it a little higher.
