The pump is located directly behind the pilot seat and it was not possible to fabricate 1/4" aluminum lines (which run to the manifold), in such a way as to make them removable when seat back and center console are permanently bonded in place. For this reason, I made all the lines out of Aeroquip 2807 Teflon hose and Aeroquip SuperGem fittings. Made for a very neat installation. One point worth noting. If you don't make provision now for autopilot roll servo installation (under co-pilot seat), you will most likely have a big headache later on. Most if not all of the hydraulic lines going to the right gear and gear door will need to be removed and replaced. Fortunately, I have my S-Tec roll servo now so was able to route all lines around it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
