I have a TD1 with dual brake installation, and it appears that one toe brake
cylinder is starting to weep around the oring. As I did not build the
aircraft, I do not know where to find parts, and unfortunately, after hours
of trying to read the numbers off the cylinder, and borrowing friends kids
to see if they would fit any better, and be able to read any better than I,
I have given up. I am hoping someone can tell me if I can purchase an oring
and replace it, or if I need to purchase an entire assembly. All that I
have been able to make out is Model 10-1 ? 0 The consensus has been that
the ? is either an 8 or a 9.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks;
Shona

Shona, This is probably a Clevland part number. Any way you look at it, it
will have to be removed to repair it. Most manufacturers use common o-rings
and replacing them is quite easy.
Good luck

A few years back I spotted brake fluid on my hanger floor and found it was
coming out of a brake caliper. So I went to my friendly Ace hardware store
and replaced the piston "O" ring with a new one and it has worked fine for
the past three years or so..In a message dated 4/4/2010 3:05:11 A.M.

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I think that Brian was right, it appears
that the toe brakes are Cleveland brake cylinders. The parts manual appears
to look the same for model #10-19, and the oring kit is listed for the
cylinder.
As you mentioned, I have had problems with the plastic brake lines that go
into the calipers, they seem to get hot, and expand, causing weeping, and
required constant trimming and bleeding. I also went to the local hardware
store and installed a 'buffer' between the plastic lines and the caliper. I
basically use a high pressure grease gun hose that threads directly into the
brake caliper, and requires little to adapt the other end. That has worked
wonderfully, and I do not need to trim anymore lines. Recently, I have
discovered that a local hydraulic supplier will make the same hoses with
certified hydraulic hose for almost the same price.
Cheers;
Shona
