I attached the gear leg brake hose - only to realize that the hose was a bit too long and left a lot of slack (that would ultimately either press against the bracket or the inside of the leg fairing):

I asked Aircraft Specialty if this was intentional, and without even asking they sent me new hoses that were about 1.5" shorter, which I thought was awesome. The new ones fit much better, so I tightened that:

I secured the hoses with friction tape, and confirmed that there's good clearance from the wheel fairing:

Now I'll only come back to this section to final-attach the engine mount, as mentioned in the previous post.

Total engine mount and landing gear time: 21.7h
