That is good to know, Al.  Thank you.  I was going to run the line such 
that it would be supported at 12" intervals, but at this point it is a 
simple matter to turn some tabs around so that it runs right next to one 
of the strongest tubes in the airplane and I can make the tie-offs much 
closer.

The next question is "steel or aluminum brake/fuel fittings?".  The 
steel is obviously stronger, but wouldn't there be an increased risk of 
dissimilar metal corrosion?

instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
