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.

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.

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.
