Try dipping the end of the oil hose in a mug of boiling hot water for a couple
of minutes. Softens them up quite nicely (shake off any water before fitting).

| Subject: | Shelf-life of Europa's thermoplastic polymer microspheres |
Hi all,
I purchased an early model kit (S/N A011) from the USA a few years back. The project
was started in about 1999. The kit came with two rather large boxes of what
I now know are thermoplastic polymer microspheres which Europa use in their
finishing process.
I've tried to find on the Web what the shelf-life (if any) these micorspheres have.
Does anyone in this forum have experience with these fillers? Can I still
use them reliably after 18 or so years? I plan to do some testing closer to
when I need them but information about them would be helpful.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,

| Subject: | Monowheel brake cylinder seals |
Dear Europa List members,
Continuing the inspection of kit A291 I have found that the brake master cylinder
was seized.
I disassembled it and found that the cup seal has deteriorated and the master cylinder
is full of black sticky crud.
I can clean the components but the seals will require replacement. Are these still
available? The master cylinder is labeled "Kart Components".
Thanks for the help,
Chris

Thanks Mike. I presume the seal kit KC25 would work?
