What was found
DURING A ROUTINE ANNUAL INSP, THE MAIN STRUT FAIRINGS WERE LOOSENED ENOUGH TO INSPECT. THE FAIRING WAS FOUND TO BE CHAFING BOTH BRAKE LINES JUST BELOW THE ATTACHMENT TO THE FUSELAGE. FORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE THE DAMAGE WAS MINIMAL AND COULD BE CORRECTED BY INSTALLING A TYE WRAP TO SECURE THE BRAKE LINE TO THE GEAR LEG MORE SECURE THAN IT WAS ORININALLY. THE ORIGINAL TYE WRAP WAS FOUND LOOSE AND HAD SLIPPED DOWN THE LEG ALLOWING THE BRAKE HOSE TO CONTACT THE FAIRING LIGHTENING HOLE. BY SIMPLY SHAVING THE INNER EDGE OF THE LIGHTENING HOLE ABOUT .1250 INCH AND SECRUING THE LINE, THIS ALLOWED SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE BRAIDED BRAKE LINE. (K)
