My breaking brake line incident sure confirmed f= or me that aluminum tubing will indeed work harden and crack.=C2=A0 Now in= fairness, it may be because I do recall having to work with that part of th= e brake line to get it to loop around the axil as Van wanted.=C2=A0 But, to= tally agree that area of the break line is where you want a flexible brake= hose of some sort.

Great to hear from you and se= e you are still messing with the rotary.

Good to hear from you Ed;
=C2=A0 =C2=A0I'm starting to f= eel old as I clearly remember your initial report on this long past inciden= t! But your sharing of this and other stories has had a positive impact on= me. In the 3 times that I've rebuilt a rotary engine since your report I al= ways recall this story in my mind and pay special attention as I'm installi= ng the oil pump gear and have noticed how easy it is to accidentally push t= hat key out of place.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0Another change I'= ve made due to your experiences is my brake lines. After your incident some= one on this list suggested using a grease gun hose for the final loop to th= e wheel. So this is what I've been using without issue since then. I'm curr= ently doing an annual inspection that has expanded to doing various system= upgrades and I've got some shiney new red hoses that were given to me by an = Oiler at work. I'm going to replace the old ones as the outer rubber layer = has some unsightly surface cracks from the weather and this new style won'= t do that.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0The list has been too quite= as of late so I've been meaning to share some of my updates to get the conv= ersations going again.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0But I'm off to t= he shop right now to play with expanding foam as I build a new set of intak= e ducts to match up to my new curved radiators taken from a Kawasaki Ninja= as suggested by another list member.
