 Installed the right brake line
Time for the right brake line. Just as I did for the left brake line, I put a flare and the fittings on the end where the tubing connects to the right gear fitting. Then I started feeding the line through the gear mount and under the fuel selector.

 Here's where the two brakes come together
I made sure to not interfere with fuel line that will be put in tomorrow.

 Made the run to the firewall
I put 2 pieces of 3/8 inch Polyethylene Tubing over the right brake tubing and duct taped the left and right pieces of Polyethylene Tubing together.

 Ran the line to the firewall fitting
The drawing shows a straight shot to the fitting from the center console. I found that I needed to clear one of the vertical angles on the firewall to prevent rubbing. Also, you'll notice that I made marks on the vertical angle and the bottom skin depicting the broundaries of the opening on the center console cover. This helped get the lines in the proper location to where they don't touch the sides of the opening.

 Getting ready for the center fuel line run to the firewall
Thanks to my good buddy Mike (and fellow RV Builder), I found out about this neat fitting from Aircraft Spruce that allows you to connect the 3/8 inch fuel line to the facet pump without making an abrupt 90 degree turn.
