Paul,
If you plan to use that tool exclusively for aircraft, you could simply replace
all the seals and O-rings with items made of Nitrile (also called Buna N).

I'm looking at the firewall eyeball fittings for a bunch of the cables going through
the firewall.
Is there a consensus as to whether the eyeball locking ring should be on the cockpit
side or the engine side? If it is on the engine side and it comes apart,
the eyeball halves could fall out and out the bottom of the cowl...in flight
they would be gone forever...... If it is on the cockpit side and it comes apart,
the eyeball halves will be floating around the cockpit.

Actually, you should use "viton" for the o-rings on the calipers. They
will stand the heat and chemical compatability. The regular o-rings in
the master cyl's are fine. Change'm as necessary.

I mounted all mine (3 airplanes worth) from the engine side. Access and
convenience dictate the orientation. I'm don't even want to think about
going panel diving with those itty bitty screws. I'm not that masochistic.
They all have lock washers so the chance of any coming loose is practically
nil. If things start shaking that much those aren't the balls I'd worry
about losing. Add some Locktite if you like the belt and suspenders
approach.

Greg Young

If you're looking at the one I'm thinking of, there are two retaining rings. One
is fastened to the firewall with two screws and the other fastens to the first
one with four screws through the firewall. The first one I installed permanently
inside the firewall with 'permanent' locktite on its two screws. Then
I installed the eyeball halves with hi-temp RTV to help hold the halves together
and seal the joint. Finally, I installed the last ring with RTV and the remaining
four screws. Even if I lose the screws I doubt I will lose the ring
or eyeball halves. I'd have to lose four screws for that, and all six screws
to lose the inner retainer. Hopefully I'd catch it in inspection before that
could happen. Anyway, as mentioned by Greg, screws to the engine compartment
is more accessible, which dictated how I oriented mine.
