NEED HELP on fuel lines, brake lines

[Andydany1]

If someone haves pic of how the fwd fuel line go up the fuselage to the wings?
If someone haves pic of how the brake lines run from master and down, even I am not sure vent lines or fill lines?
If someone haves pic of how the pitot tubes run under the instrument panel and front fuselage
And how the proper way the headliner with greenhouse is installed
I brought a project 1968 7eca which was covered but all front lines were removed and most of these lines were not marked

thanks

There is a fuel system drawing you can buy from ACA which will show you exactly how the fuel system should be routed.

A 1968 ECA would have the master cylinders with the reservoirs on the cylinders. We should be able to find you a photo showing routing.

Pitot/static lines just run the hoses to the instruments

Headliner is a project, look for photos here at the site but it's a lot to explain.

thanks for the pic wish I had that style of brakes
here some pics of what I have, the windshield is out now also the greenhouse
its like when I worked at Lockheed and we would get P3 planes in kit form and put them together lol
I could be wrong but I think putting the head liner in will be lots of fun
thanks

Those master cylinders are difficult to remove and disassemble once the airplane is back together. Mine were leaking when I bought the 7ECA that I had for a while. It would be a good idea to remove them and completely disassemble them so both the brake and parking brake functions are leak free. I posted a thread about them that has pics and stuff

Citabria Thread '7ECA Heel Brake Master Cylinders, Cleveland 10-5'

Dec 30, 2021

Decided to try to finally get these to stop leaking while we're doing the annual this week. These are the Cleveland 10-5 master cylinders with integral reservoirs and parking brake valves. There's not much out there about these valves so I took some photos and tried to explain how the rebuild went.

Here's the master cylinder installed under the floorboards. You can see the heel brake pedal sticking up through the floorboard on the right.


Start by opening up the hydraulic line in the back left of the photo. Then unscrew the blue AN fitting and pry out the little spring and...
