    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Hey guys, having some trouble deciding how to route the fuel vent line and the brake lines into the gear leg area on my Pitts S-1C. Specifically, in the area where the lines are transitioning from inside the fuselage into the gear fairing.

Whats common practice here?

The top bar on the gear legs (fore to aft) have holes for what look like would be for -4 bulkhead fittings, one for a brake line and one for the vent hose, but right above it is where the belly plexi and side panel attach. My airplane has a welded in fore to aft piece of sheet metal, about 1/2" wide, with rivnuts for mounting the side and belly panels. I will get pictures soon to describe this.
