Valuable way to
reduce this effect is to use wire ties every 6" or so. That changes the
vibration frequency. Take a look at your car. You won't be able to find
any wire, or tube without wire tie or other restraint each 6".

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?

mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
