Ports on the LSEIII are 3/8". I'm using the cyclone fan below and a piece of 3/8"
ID silicone hose as a bushing to bring the port size up to a size that is
closer to the cyclone. The larger hose diameter also adds some strength to the
port on the LSE.\

I installed a Cyclone 21 avionics fan (PN CRB-6457) which I believe Stein carries
(below). The other ports provide forced cooling to my radio stack. Simple design
and well worth the $.

Sorry I don't recall the tube diameter used on the LSE cooling ports. But... do
recall sourcing the tubing from the A/C section of the local Lowes.
Cheers,

After action report. I was fortunate. I did get to remove and reinstall the
parking brake twice to confirm that the only leakage from the parking brake
was from the fittings, not the valve body. So I did not have to contact
Matco or do anything special with the valve.
By the time I am done, I will have redone every pipe fitting fitting in my
brake system with aviation pipe thread sealant, and ensured all flare
fittings have proper torque. 3 flare fittings required the DEL seals sold
by Spruce. (well, looked like it was needed and I wasn't going to screw
around with them with multiple tests, so went with belt and suspenders
attack that worked).
Very few fittings had significant leaks, but because they are on interior
and I don't want a future mess, I corrected any fitting with even a hint of
a seep. I already had control sticks out for other work, so I could get my
creaky old bones under the panel okay.

I've pretty much given up on teflon paste-type thread sealants. I prefer
Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket on threads these days.
