Our plan is to use flexible brake lines rather than the VANs AL 'loops' at the base of the gear leg. First step was to split a spare high pressure hose that I had. Tape, mark and die grinder.
Then thread the 'outer' section onto the pipe and make a mini mandrel out of a spare union / nipple.
Lots of lubrication, a bit of grunt and final trimming / cleaning of the internal path. All clear and has pulled down well, difficult to pressure test locally, but I'll test with brake fluid later.
