Be careful when using it to dimple, if you get in a hurry, it is real easy to create a new dimpled hole in the wrong place.....

I had to taxi quite a distance on turf to get to the HBP area with the other 10's. As I got closer to the parking area, i noticed my brakes getting spongy. I don't think I ride the brakes much at all but taxiing on the grass made me tap dance on them quite a bit. I few back to KUES that evening and found a leaking right caliper. Opened it up and found the o-ring pretty worn on one side, almost flat. The wall looked good with no sign of scoring or scratches. I replaced the o-ring but have not tested the brakes yet. I also found the left caliper leaking slightly as well. Have not inspected it yet. The plane has about 170 hours. Had no problems prior to this flight. The question is, would heating up the brakes cause the o-rings to fail?

Changed the oring to viton - I always use the mil-h-83282 fluid. I'm sure I would've had a fire with 5606 fluid.....

They'll hold up much better. On my site, I have the viton part number on one of my write-ups: http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/maintenance/20080503/index.html Just search Viton on the page and you find: The Viton o-rings are M83248/1-224 V-75 I bought some additional ones from McMaster Carr. 1201T856 MIL-Spec Viton(R) Fluoroelastomer O-Ring, AS568A Dash Number 224, packs of 10 I also got these as spares...I think these were for the prop: 4198T265 MIL-Spec Buna-N O-Ring, A75 Durometer, AS568A Dash Number 228, packs of 25 Good luck, Tim On 8/4/2012 11:11 PM, Kelly McMullen wrote: > > Do you happen to have the viton part number for the Cleveland calipers? > >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On Aug 4, 2012, at 10:30 PM, David Leikam wrote: >> >>> >>> I flew into OSH and landed on runway 9 last Friday during the show. >>> I had to taxi quite a distance on turf to get to the HBP area with >>> the other 10's.
