Brake line hydraulic swivel

Learjetter, on a G (P-model) it is visible from the outside of the airplane. Kneel just aft of the landing gear leg and look inboard of the gear leg about 18 inches, or so.

Confirming that the substitute swivel by Phenix works is some pretty awesome news. Solves a major conundrum for 337 mankind.

Hey Skymaster People, After further investigation it has been determined that the aforementioned swivel does not swivel quite enough when tightened down. I owe you all a big APOLOGY. We cannot find a OEM swivel nor a suitable substitute so we are going to install a new teflon/cotton/rubber hose as per the original parts catalog for older 337's and proceed with that fix. We will inspect frequently for wear and report back. Again I jumped the gun from enthusiasm and was too quick to post my findings. So Sorry. BBQ crow tonight for dinner.

Have any of y’all checked into the swivels from McFarland

Just thought I would point out in this thread, as I believe I did in another, that Rob Air repair in Washington will do an exchange or repack your own serviceable swivels. As of this year he's charging 500 each, with $1,000 core if yours is not serviceable.

So the early part of thread was encouraging...rebuild your own very easily for 75 cents, then devolved to send off for $500/ea.

Has anyone rebuilt their own? If so, do you have a list of p/n for each part needed and/or other kit?
