Douglas spark a canadian certificated pilot had purchased N7401P from a privacy data omitted at agua dulce airport. The radios were not working in N7401P so privacy data omitted flew his Cessna 150 as the lead/radio ship in a flight of two with Mr. Spark to fox field to have the radios fixed before Mr. Spark would ferry N7401P to Canada. Upon inspection of N7401P it was noted that an eight inch long section of conduit had been installed with radiator hose clamps on the right down lock to stiff leg the right gear. This soft conduit failed on landing resulting in the gear failure on rollout.
