You need a short section of hose there because of wing flex in that area. I
used a 45 screwed into the wing and cut a long oval  in the BL50 rib to get
at the hose end. I had to make a special 11/16  wrench to get at the
fitting. The hose runs from the 45 and makes an easy bend to the rear spar
where it connects to the hard line. I think skipv@olympus.net has pictures
of my installation. If I were to do it over I would  use slip on hose on the
45 and bead the hard line and use clamps. That works for Cessna and is what
skip is doing.
