Gentleman;
I have an issue with my 1940 J5A serial 426 (completed 15 November). My right brake line "Flexible Hose" (Original part number 84574) split. The left one is okay - but is of course just as old. Outside of my original assembly book (documentation) that came with my plane, I have been entirely unable to to find any information on this part in any modern documentation to be able to replace it. With many of these birds still around, I am pretty sure some other folks must have needed one at some point. If anyone can help out, I'd surely appreciate it ... I need to fly my bird to her annual inspection by the end of this month!
