| Subject: | Leaky Brake Fitting - Some advice please! |
I had a problem today where the parking brake got stuck on. Normally to
release it, I put a lot of pressure on the finger brakes and it unsticks.
Unfortunately, something else unstuck first! I must have put a bit too much
pressure on the left brake (same one I had bleeding problems with) and it
squirted fluid out.
Looks like I need a new nylon compression olive, or perhaps a whole new
brass fitting. Any idea where to get these from? They are the much hated
jamar (I think that's the name) brakes. Leak was from between the nylon
olive ring and pipe itself.
The next trouble is that I need to get to the parking brake valve to put a
new handle on it (I snapped it off during my messing about) but I have no
idea how to get to it! Its inside the central tunnel, seemingly
inaccessible. I might even need to get to this to replace the length of
pipe, I suspect it needs refreshing in order to fix this leak.
Thanks for any advice :)

What colour are your brake pipes. If they were supplied by Europa and
are
black they are 6mm tube. If they are supplied by Europa and clear
(white)
they are =BC inch. Brass poly flow fittings are designed for =BC inch
tube.
They will (just about) work with the black 6mm tube but can be blown of
with pressure or knocked of easily. Europa changed over to the clear
(white) =BC tube when this was pointed out to them. So if you are
replacing
any tube make sure it is =BC inch.
As far as I know you cannot buy the olives on there own. You can buy
the
brass end fitting with the olive and sleeve in it from Aircraft Spruce
part
No 261-UB-4 . Have a look at the range, search for Brass Poly-flo
fittings.
Sorry but I have no magic way of getting at your parking brake valve.
I
assume you can just about access it from the inspection hatch behind the
fuel cock on the starboard side of the tunnel.

See attached pic=8A they are a mix! Looks like black from the reservoir,
opaque white onwards. Thanks for the info, I'll check out Aircraft Spruce.
There is a small access hatch about 8" behind it on starboard side, but no
clear way to access it directly=8A. I guess I'll have to get mirrors and torc
h
and try and see if I can service it!
Thanks,
-Carl.
