The primary problem was the T fitting I bought from aircraft spruce was supposed to have 1 1/8" npt and 2 1/8" compression fittings. It had 3 1/8" compression fittings instead.. I am ordering a second T fitting in the hope that it will be correct. The new wheels, tires, brakes, brake lines & master cylinder are installed.. everything is looking fine. Major parts list: Matco MHMHE6B1.25 EV (matco wheel / brake assembly) Matco WHLAXLE3EV (matco axle) matco Mc-5 master cylinder MCCREARY AIRTRAC 600-6 tires high pressure tubing, right angle and t fittings, aircraft quality bolts, washers, lock nuts. I would probably recommend using 1/4" brake line.. since it is a LOT easier to find fittings in this size.. in the event you are missing something.. say a T fitting... Total cost of materials was about $900 total time invested so far.. about 20 man hours. I will probably post pictures of the finished product once everything is complete.

I have an Allegro 2000 and am having the hydraulic brakes tend to periodically stick (i.e. the shoe not relaxing off of the disc). I think this may be be caused by the small hydraulic piston in the caliper sticking. It does not do do this all the time, and I only see it after I have landed and am trying to move the plane by hand. If the plane sits over night the problem is gone. Anyway, if I can't find out how to correct this problem on the brakes I now have I may have to change in the future.
