List,



My pile of ZAC-supplied brake parts included two tees.  Can anybody offer advice as to where these might go?



I have MC-5/MC-4 master/slave setup for dual brakes.  The Matco site has a nice PDF which addresses the issue of plumbing the lines, yet the "pick list" from ZAC included these tee-fittings.  ZAC mistake, or am I missing something?



This shouldn't be rocket science, but I'm still wondering what these parts might have been intended for.



Also, the ZAC-supplied brake lines are the nearly clear nylon.....and I'm accustomed to metal.  Is this stuff going to stay put in compression fittings?



As always, thanks.



Oh yes......101 degrees F yesterday in north Texas, more today; rolling blackouts scheduled for mid-afternoon. 

May have to run the engine as a fan!

Chuck,



Added you to my "approved list" and got the photos.



Thanks.



Mine will be exactly as you show.....I had decided on that routing, but sure did wonder about the tees.

I had also looked at the ZAC builders stuff.  Not much mention of brakes, but the hose routing on the dual-caliper wheels was evident in the Gear Section.



I have a vacuum pump from ER that they decided to dispose of.... small fractional-horse motor with rotary pump, pint jar, hoses, etc.  



If you reverse the hoses it makes a neat "pusher/pressure" pump.....just put the brake fluid in the jar and flip the switch.  It puts air into the closed jar thru one tube forcing the fluid out the other tube and up the bleeder valve.

It has about as much pressure a fellow could exert by blowing with his mouth.  Works great.  Used it on the previous plane and loaned it to others, too.



Again, thanks!



Zed
