I keep repeating my old (9 years ago) Aeronca conversion parts list. I am sticking it here so I can simply post a link when a new Cub forumite has brake component questions.
Herewith:
So, a summary: Assume you will use two flex hoses each side, and one will be centered on the hole in the fabric:
90 degree fitting for caliper - 403x3, or Edelman 122320. You need two.
Tube nut - 105x4, or Edelman 121004. You need eight.
Hose - NAPA 36549 or Car Quest 4312. You need four (still under fifty bucks for all of them).
Adapter 202x3 - Edelman 124320 to adapt male end of hose, and 252x4 to boost that up to the right size (Edelman 126420). Two pairs.
And finally, at the master cylinder - two 45 degree elbows 352x4, Edelman 125420.
And that 1/4" Copper tube - six feet, to be safe. And a good tubing tool kit.
The owners are using giant Adel clamps to hold the copper line on the aft side of the inner gear leg. I cannot fault that, but if it were mine, I would simply wire it up to the left over brackets the cable ran through.
Also, I used bleeder screws on this installation at the master cylinder. We do not need them! If you do a J-3 style installation, the high point is not at the reservoir, but at the outlet end, and I find them necessary there. If you want bleeder screws, you need a "tee" with 1/8" NPT threads, at the output of the master cylinder.
