You need a short section of hose there because of wing flex in that area. I

used a 45 screwed into the wing and cut a long oval  in the BL50 rib to get

at the hose end. I had to make a special 11/16  wrench to get at the

fitting. The hose runs from the 45 and makes an easy bend to the rear spar

where it connects to the hard line. I think skipv [at] olympus.net has pictures

of my installation. If I were to do it over I would  use slip on hose on the

45 and bead the hard line and use clamps. That works for Cessna and is what

skip is doing.
