I stumbled on this failure:
http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:7Q5xRij0Ns8J:www.37000feet.com/report/759483+rotax+914+failures&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Clogged oil return line on 914 blows oil out of turbo. Synthetic or semi synthetic
and allowing proper cool down helps to prevent.

| Subject: | Hydraulic brake hose |
No need to "modify" a tap, just get the correct tap for the job. There are
three basic taps, taper (7 to 10 chamfered threads), plug (3 to 5) and
bottoming (1 to 2). When tapping into a blind hole the bottoming tap is
preferred if you want threads almost to the bottom (duh!). It is not as
easy to get a bottoming tap started by hand, and the chips tend to get
jammed into the bottom of the hole so it may take a few "ins and outs" to
get the job done.

Hi Bob,
You can tap it to pipe thread, as I did after talking to Terry and Dave
(N135TD). You cut the tip of tap off so it won't bottom out. So you are
cutting the top part of the threads wider to accept "our" pipe thread.
But the banjo fitting looks very nice too...

Mike & Michel,
I'm in the process of converting to the stick mounted hand brake from MDO.
The control column mounted master cylinder is beautifully made.
Unfortunately, M. Bastien provided a caliper fitting that consisted of an
AN9186 Nipple (Flared Tube to Pipe Thread) to replace the existing 90 degree
fitting and then put a 90 degree AN hose end fitting on the end of the hose.
See pic:
The AN fitting is NPT (National Pipe Thread), which is a tapered thread.
The 90 degree fitting that came off the caliper was a straight thread so the
AN fitting only goes in about 2 threads and quits. That's not really
acceptable. A banjo hose end like yours, Mike, would be perfect but I can't
find one over here on this side of the pond.
Tomorrow, I'll be posting more pics on my build site showing how the hose
end of the banjo should be configured as it's not a (U.S.) typical 37 degree
AN type fitting.
If there's anyone out there in Europe or the U.K. that can find the correct
fitting, I'd sure be glad to pay for it as well as postage to send it to me.
Thanks in advance!
Check six,

Michel,
The hose came from MDO Aircraft when I bought their stick mounted hand brake
caliper. (See attachment) I think M. Bastien of MDO Aircraft is based in
Biarritz. I do know that some of our colleagues on this site have had
trouble contacting him. A French person in France may have better luck.
Bob,
I'll see if I can find the details of the banjo fitting. I might have to go
back to the shop on Monday.
Regards,
Mike.
