Hi all,
The brake cylinder( the one with the lever on it, not at the one on the
wheel) on my mono wheel has sprung a leak.
Would anyone happen to be able to suggest a source for the seals. I know I
can get them from the factory, but I want to fix my aircraft before this
weekend. Any info on the manufacturer of this cylinder and potential source
of local parts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Paul

Paul,
you might give Matco a call. I know Europa sourced a lot through them but I
am not to sure about the mono. There are a lot more products available then
on the web site http://www.matcomfg.com.

Paul,
When looking for seals for N55XS, I took the originals to a local Car
Quest and we started going through the book. After opening a few boxes,
we found one that fit. These were for the tri-gear. My guess is that
you would have the same luck with the mono parts...

Paul,
I looked up the company on the internet. Here's the URL to their site.
http://www.kartcomponents.com/productsbrakingsystems.htm
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you'll see our "master
cylinder". I'm assuming you have the same one I got with my Classic kit.....
You might can give them a call to see if someone in the US has replacement
parts.

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses on brake seals. The problem ultimately turned out
to be a leak on the hose at the union where it screws into the master
cylinder. It was harder to find than it was to fix, not the roomiest place
working up in the tunnel.
I have a question. As part of the trouble shooting exercise I removed the
wheel cylinder and pads. The pads had about 60% of there thickness left,
but the piston was coming out of the bore at an angle in order to be able to
apply pressure to the pads. I messed with it for a while. but I could
never get the piston to come straight out of the bore so I gave up and put
new pads in. What experiences have other people had ?

Paul mine were doing the same. I ordered new pads and the little tool for
removing and replacing rivets on the pads (ACS). When I replaced them I
found I could get the piston straight and now they have stayed straight for
last 50+ hrs.You will need new pads to get piston straight because pads are
likely wore at an angle and that wont let the pistons straighten. My brake
works much better after replacing pads.
