Just another minor oversight I'm sure. Just replace these with some stainless steel ones which won't rust ( 300 series I think ) and add a light coating of some good grease and they'll float just nicely. Lets fix that first then deal with the brake lines. I'm not sure if the L-IV brakes are like this too but its worth a look see. I used braided Stainless lines on the gear legs too. Lloyd
