My brake line swivel has seen better days. Someone previously beat the crap out of it and it is no longer serviceable or repairable. I found a replacement part which is a Phoenix C6-4-6. Cost about $10 plus shipping. Using FAR 43.13 to install. Far better replacement part than the original. Early serial number Skymasters had no brake swivels. I don't know the history on the swivel but I assume it was an improvement done by Service Bulletin in the early days. Then incorporated into later production airplane.
