Anyone added a brake reservoir on the engine side of the firewall on your 4 place
Grumman?
I'm tired of adding brake fluid while standing on my head!
I'm thinking that flex hoses screwed into the stock reservoirs routed to a reservoir
on the firewall could work. Right or wrong?

That's the way Beech did it on the Bonanza in 1947! But the cylinders
are not reservoir ones like on the Grumman.

I worked on a Traveler that had been modified like that.
Worked fine, but could have been better engineered.

One of the Tigers I maintain started having that old wire burning smell.
-Not all the time. -Off and on. -Smoke once. -Never repeatable. -
=0A=0AA mechanic outside Oshkosh identified 51PA3 as having a 'rough, bubbl
y surface.' -This wire was under the panel toward the middle in a bundle
of wires. -=0A=0AYesterday, I found the same thing without the knowledge
of the previous find. -51PA3 is a ground wire. -No circuit breaker or f
use. -=0A=0AI followed the wire to the engine side and noticed several me
lted looking areas.=0A=0AFiguring the wire needed to be replaced anyway, I
cut into it and put an ammeter in series. -The battery relay that is ener
gized by adding ground the the middle terminal is at the end of the wire.
=0AThis wire drew 0.065 to 0.70 amps. -The really odd thing was that it g
ot really hot while I was holding it. -=0A=0AI replaced it with No.18 wir
e. -The removed wire had a LOT of places on the wire where the shielding
had either been melted or worn away; I couldn't tell why the shielding was
missing. -The wire in those areas was very corroded. -=0A=0AAnyone else
ever seen anything like that?=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0A

At all conditions, climb, dive, straight and level, left or right skid (yaw), the
MAP registered approximately .1 inches below the pressure recorded from a port
tapped into the static line.
