Any reason to not use silicone seals in the brakes? Dave Leikam ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:06:30 AM PST US From: Kelly McMullen Subject: Re: RV10-List: Brake seals Unless they give you a durometer spec equal to the Viton, most silicone is softer and less desirable in this application. I use flourosilicone o-rings for fuel caps, but there is no sliding piston like a brake caliper.

Hope you all had a great time at Oshkosh. For those of you who were unable to attend, I am sure you were there in spirit. We have been busy here at Aircraft Specialty, and wanted to announce a few things. 1. We are now a US Distributor for Andair Locking Fuel Caps. Andair is based in England, and makes extremely high quality caps. The best part is that they are retrofittable into the standard RV flange. This allows you to retrofit locking caps to your tank without having to make any modifications, other than to proseal the Andair flange inside the Van's flange. We also offer fuel cap engraving for the andair caps. The major advantage here is that since we are a distributor, we are able to engrave the caps onsite and then ship them out to you. This saves you the hassle of having to purchase caps and then send them out to be engraved. We are offering the Andair caps for *$154/set (plain), $194/set (engraved), and $199/set (engraved with color fill)*. These caps can be found at * www.aircraftspecialty.com/rvproducts.html* 2. We are also offering polishing of the standard Vans fuel caps at a very reasonable rate. If you go to *www.aircraftspecialty.com/engraving.html*, click on the fuel caps, and then click on "FOR INFORMATION ON USHER FUEL CAP POLISHING". You will see pictures of the difference between the polished and unpolished caps. This in an option we offer as an addition to our fuel cap engraving. *The cost is $30/set of two caps.* 3. Finally, we have updated our shipping rates for our international customers. We ship mostly via the Post Office, and you can expect to receive your items within 10 business days. Normally it goes quicker, but that is the maximum that it should take. You no longer have to call us for an international shipping quote. 4. Thanks to all of you that have purchased hoses from www.kitplanehoses.com. We appreciate it, and will continue to provide top quality fuel and brake hoses at very reasonable prices. I have received a lot of positive feedback about our ordering process, but wanted to open it up to you. If you have any suggestions on what would make ordering hoses easier or more convenient, please feel free to let me know. Also, for those of you who live overseas, this ordering is also available with accurate shipping quotes at *www.kitplanehoses.com* Feel free to contact me at * steve@aircraftspecialty.com* with comments. 5. We also wanted to let everyone know that we are currently working on a few very innovative products that will be reasonably priced and will greatly enhance your RV. We are always working on innovating new things, but want to make sure they are tested and perfect before we release them for sale. As always, if any of you have any ideas on something that you would absolutely like to have, we are happy to work with builders to develop new items that might benefit the RV community. Fly safe and thanks again for all your patronage.
