Does anyone have a picture or diagram of how the cable is routed to the wheel brake on an LS-1? Currently the brake works but my A&P is positive that it cannot be how it left the factory. Im trying to not pay a one year fee to get a quick diagram of the cable routing. Any help would be appreciated.

The installation from the factory has room for improvement.
The original route is from the Brake pushrod, down into the paddle-box into a Teflon tube. On the front wall of the paddle box is there a pulley, from the pulley goes the wire in free air, over the wheel axle to the brake.
This leads to two mayor issues:
Then retracting the wheel is there a lot of slack in the wire, i can jump off the pulley and the braking effect becomes zero next time you extract the wheel.
The wire literally geos over the wheel shaft, without any kind of protection. This leads to excessive wear and tear of both the wire and the shaft.

Tost offers a nice but expensive solution. Too the “lilleput� wheel hub is there a pneumatic kit for the brake. Cost is about 1000€ + time for modification.
I have made another modification. Removed the Teflon tube and the pulley, installed a 2mm Bowden cable from the local MC- shop, it is attached beneath the top of the paddle-box and goes directly to the brake leveler on wheel hub. It is not approved by the maintenance manual but it gives me a more reliably and easier to maintain wheel brake solution.

That is a pretty good description of how my LS-1 is rigged right now. Hopefully this will be enough that I do not need to get factory support to confirm that LS-1 brakes are not very good. Thanks for the help.
