Look up at the valve on the firewall and I suspect you will find the origin of the leak. If so, you will need to pull the valve and replace the o-rings or send it to Matco for a mod if it is the older model.

Does it only leak when it's set? The reason I ask is if the plane is still flyable to get it home.

I ended up replacing the O rings and that took care of the problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "johngoodman" Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 10:24:41 AM Subject: RV10-List: Re: Matco parking brake valve fail That isn't good....

This morning I did one of the most physically challenging things of the entire build which was worm myself under the panel around the stick and prop up on a kidney braced with a rib with both arms intertwined into the cables and rudder pedals, sweat and brake fluid seeping into my eyes, to remove the lines from the devil spawned valve and join the cable ends together with spare male male through wall fittings I just happened to have . Expecting a friend coming by I get a phone call so I manage to flex my man boob enough to push my phone up high enough to pluck the phone out of my shit pocket with my teeth and tap answer with my elbow only to be asked by my local Chevy dealer if it was a convenient time to discuss my future automotive needs. -------- Myron Nelson Mesa, AZ Emp completed, QB wings completed, legacy build fuse on gear.

I've been under the panel for the last 2 months finishing things up. You've described it perfectly.
