Don Gordon,

Reference to your post about an adapter for connecting a line to your fuel
pressure transducer:  From the output port of the mechanical fuel pump you
need a Lycoming part to adapt to AN parts.  I used a Lycoming part 72377
elbow, purchased from Aircraft Spruce.  I drilled and tapped a new hole into
the flat side of the elbow for a 1/8 NPT pipe thread.  An  AN 822-3 elbow
was then turned in to the new hole.  From there, you can connect a -3 hose
to your transducer.  I got the idea from Tony Bingelis.
Works fine for me.

As far as brake fluid is concerned.  Yes, MIL-H-5606 Hydraulic fluid is
normally used for both gear hydraulics and your hydraulic brakes (the red
stuff).  I have heard of other builders using a less flammable fluid for the
brakes.  I think its colored blue.
