These fit behind the engine cowl and under the cabin. I will be making replacements as the originals have cracks and dents. 

Doors, trim pieces, and horizontal Stab painted. 

There are two flexible hoses, one for each brake line, that connect from the landing gear to the fuselage allowing flexibility between the hard lines at that point. 

The original brake lines were leaking and needed to be replaced. Cost for two new hoses from Univair was $392.00. I used a local shop that makes them and are certified by the FAA. Cost:  $60 for the pair. 

New vs old

Connection at the landing gear point.

Next are the side panels and the struts to be painted. 

Painted and at home. 

Someone over the last fifty years of this engine in storage, borrowed or loaned the starter. So I didn’t get one with the engine. I found one in serviceable condition and snatched it up fast. Even came with the Bendix gear on it. I found another starter in inventory at work and bought that one, too. It didn’t have the Bendix gear on it though. 

Not bad for a beginner. I have a couple runs I need to fix. Nothing terrible. 

Cleaned and media blasted the brackets. 

Before cleaning

One down one to go.

Two different shades of blue under the red. 

Painted the rudder , some trim pieces, and one elevator today. Fingers crossed to see how it looks once it’s cured.
