Brake Cable

The Brakes consist of the brake heel pedals, the brake cable, the brake cable conduit and the cable adjustment hardware that fits on the wheel.  The following pictures show the components of the brake system.

The routing of the cable is shown above.  The stepped ferrule and the end ferrule are not anchored to the conduit in any way.  I decided to add a dab of structural adhesive to the cable conduit just to hold the conduit in place.  This was added when the adhesive was used to secure the fuselage stringers.
