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 {:>)
