| Subject: | Brake fluid seeping from master cylinders |
I have had trouble with leaks in my Brake lines as well. The Co-Pilots Master Cylinders
were leaking from the nipple joints.
I followed the recommended practise of using a torque wrench set to the appropriate
torque in conjunction with some Loctite thread sealant.
Either I didn't put enough loctite on or the stuff that I used was old?
I ended up re-installing the nipples on both sides with Permatex 56521. I might
add that it also solved the fuel leak problems that
I had with the Fuel pressure Sender and the fuel drain plugs in the wings.
Cheers

I started getting air in my lines that I couldn't keep out recently. I'd bleed
the brakes but very soon there was some air in the lines. I removed the pilot
sides master cylinders and put the copilot ones in their place. Seems to have
fixed the problem.

The antenna is flush with the inside surface, and the TNC is a 90 degree fitting.
there is no clearance issue. The antenna and filler consume the void tightly,
and a ground plate covers the inside skin cut out.
Here is a photo prior to the ground/mount plate installation.
Best,
Frank

Frank,
That's a clever use of what seems like wasted volume, but please consider
that the thickness of the cabin top provides a structural function. Are
you taking some measures to reinforce the compromised area, like a cover
plate that acts as a doubler, or additional plies below the antenna? Of
course we can do what we want, but it sure seems to me like that mod gives
up some crash worthiness.

My -10:
A/W certificate in May 2011. All new (avionics, engine) at that time.
Current assessed value (CA) $155K. I think that's about right.
Exterior paint: do-it-yourself, quality is poor if you get within 20 feet
Interior: basic/bare, spray painted ceilings, no insulation, no window trim.
(These two items tend to drive used prices)
Avionics: Full IFR but last generation (e.g., GPS is 420W, not 650). GRT HX, HS;
Dynon D6 backup; GArmin 420W, SL30; Trio Pro autopilot; Trig TT22 transponder;
home made audio panel. Skyradar D2 for ADSB-in.

Sounds about right. I had $150k on mine but should have had $180k because I greatly
upgraded the radios. Insure it for what you have in it and then pray you
never have to collect like I did.
