Flexible Brake Lines for Cleveland Brakes
I have Cleveland wheels & brakes on my 120. The previous owner removed the wheel extenders, and when doing so, replaced the flexible rubber lower brake lines with aluminum tube lines. The right brake rubs the rotor when taxing, as the hard line does not allow the caliper to float properly. Does anyone know where I can get the flexible brake line assemblies? Thanks!

Any A&P with the proper mandrels can make them for you, or, A.E.R.O. has a hose shop that I used to order from.

Re: Flexible Brake Lines for Cleveland Brakes
Good advice. I removed my wheel extenders and my APIA made some flex hoses for me. Not hard at all. Taxis and tracks better w/o the extenders
