For those interested (and may not have seen them) , here
are a few photos of my brake line fire incident.
Big chunk got blown out of brake line as can be
seen from Brakelines.jpg photo. Effect of resin burning seen on wheel pant
photos. Once the line broke, the next time I depressed the brake pedal, a
fireball from the wheel to over the wing resulted from spraying the hydraulic
fluid over the hot brake assembly. The flash point of the fluid is only
240F! I am going to investigate some stuff with a bit higher flash point
{:>)
