Folding wing mechanism (cont)

pic 1:
In this post, we are 'running' the hydraulic lines.
(I found out that the pump voltage is 6-8 volts)
I cut equal lengths 3mm tubing to the far side (up) festo fitting in the oil cylinder and to the inside (down) festo fitting in the oil cylinder.
I looped the tubing inside the mechanism to protect it from any wear.
Presently, I used some scotch tape to hold the tubing in place as I think my plastic ties are out in the detached shop (where it's about zero degrees: 'forget it' for now!).

pic 2:
There is a slot at the top of the rib and just behind the claw part of the mechanism so I ran the tubing through that slot.

pic 3/4:
The 3mm tubing goes into two T festo fittings for each cylinder, another 3mm tubing comes out the bottom of the T and goes into a 3mm to 4mm conversion festo fitting. Some clear 4mm tubing then connects the conversion festo fitting to the UP/DOWN outlets in the oil valve.

pic 5:
The very long tubing is needed for filling the baby oil into the system.
The long clear tubing coming out the oil valve is the back drain line and goes to the oil reservoir.
The oil valve side is 4mm and the oil reservoir is 6mm so a 4-6mm conversion festo fitting is needed in that route.
Probably tomorrow, I'll be taking this bad boy down into the basement to begin the 'testing', in case of any oil leaks, it'll just go onto the basement cement floor in the laundry room.
