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.

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. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:50:52 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: GPS antenna mounting From: "fdombroski" The antenna is flush with the inside surface, and the TNC is a 90 degree fitting. there is no clearance issue.

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. --Dave On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 5:50 AM, fdombroski wrote: > > The antenna is flush with the inside surface, and the TNC is a 90 degree > fitting. there is no clearance issue.

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.
