tomn Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 Well, those are on the list for me. Where did you buy the parts and what was the approximate cost? Any other associated parts used? Installation tips? +1
N601RX Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 Also check the ones behind the panel that contain oil and fuel. Mine were still original when I purchased the plane. We made up all new hoses for the entire plane by ordering several ft of bulk hose of the correct type and size from spruce and then built up new hoses reusing the steel ends.
Seth Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 When I purchased my 1967F model I took a multi year approach to replace fuel/oil/brake hoses/lines. I replaced the fuel and oil lines at the first annual, plus any other hoses on inspection of course that needed it, and then did the exterior brake lines the second year. The third year I replaced many of the other original hoses that looke okay, but were approaching at that time, nearly 43 years old. I have not yet replaced too many hoses/lines in the 1983 Missile, but I have done a few. There was a brake line rubbing in one area specifically that I remember where we changed out the wearing line and put a "bumper" in place so that the new line would not chafe. Some of our fleet hoses are original and old. You don't know often if your line/hose is wearing out until it does. Does anyone simply replace hoses that are more than 10 years old? 20? 30? Etc . . -Seth
