I received the AN822-3D fittings from Aircraft Spruce today and installed them in the master cylinders. I then installed the hoses from the brake fluid reservoirs onto the upper fittings. I searched everywhere for these fittings in black, but could only find them in blue. I did find AN822-4D fittings in black, but I didn’t want to use 1/4″ lines here if I could avoid it. I even briefly thought about having some re-anodized in black, but that would be ludicrously expensive and I couldn’t have re-anodized the hose end fittings. I also replaced the AN816-4D fittings I previously installed in the parking brake with AN816-3D fittings. Finally, I measured for the final brake hoses from the master cylinders to the parking brake. I need to put in another order to Bonaco soon for these hoses as well as the manifold pressure hose and possibly the remaining fuel hoses.
