I have a Monowheel with Airbrake lever installed. Both makes for less
options when running fuel lines to the engine.

My plan is to run fuel lines through some PVC plastic conduit on the port
side of the tunnel, punch into the cockpit through the pilot right side
thigh support on the fuse floor, sneak under the airbrake torque tube /
horn.

I will transition just about under the Airbrake torque tube from supplied
fuel hose to aeroquip stainless steel braided fuel hose the same diameter.
The transition will happen at 2 flowscan transducers. 

Now punch through the left cockpit module flange bout 4 inches below the
roof into the engine compartment, between the footwell side and the
vertical undercarriage mounting frame tube.


Anyone done similar? Are you flying?

How did you mount hoses?

Did you cover hoses with anything?

What are the details of how you made firewall penetration?

Any pictures?

Thx.
