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.\ Michael -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of hotwheels Sent: Friday, December 05, 2014 8:32 PM Subject: RV10-List: Re: Plasma III - Cooling Port 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 $. http://www.steinair.com/SearchResults.cfm?key=fan 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.

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 prefer Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket on threads these days. --Dave On Sun, Dec 14, 2014 at 6:52 PM, Kelly McMullen wrote: > > After action report. I was fortunate.
