More brake line fitting - 3 hours

 I went back to Mopac and purchased 2-14" lines for the park brake to pedals, and 2-36" lines for the pedal to pedal connection. 

 

Do there is no doubt that the 14" lines are the correct choice over the 16" lines. However I am a bit concerned with the length of the 36" lines. They look right, and run nicely to the other pedal with gentle sweeping bends, however when moving the pedals back and forth, I see that I am getting some rubbing of the lines on the brake pedal tubes. To help combat this, I designed and 3D printed brake line clips to help separate lines. After installing them, they certainly do much to keep lines from rubbing together, however I'm still having some issue with the right pedal. I just need a little more slack in the lines. I might need to go back to 38" lines.
