Walked down to the corner of the hanger to the next line of hangers where there is a WC. This is what I saw to the Southeast. Not looking good. Went to the WC and cleaned up. Looked even more threatening after the wash. Decided to close up and go hom

Here's a look at the tubing end of the two fittings. Again, similar, but not the same. Can't use the original fitting with the new tubing.

Here's a closeup of the hose end, bolt and washers. The hose end connector is identical to that which was on the master cylinder end so this should easily replace the 90 degree AN hose end provided. We'll know better later this week when I can get to th

Realizing that I'd need to do any remaining work at home, I removed the disk brake, gathered up the bits and headed for the shop. This is just a pic of the BSPT threaded hole in the disk brake. Had to clean it out as it was full of crap. Testing showed

2010 03 07 - Spent Saturday working on the new brake master cylinder from MDO in France. I have it about 75% installed. Ran into some hardware issues which are shown in later pics. This pic is an overview of the new master cylinder installed on the con

So it's back to bleeding the brakes again. Pull the lines out so there's no high spots and there's an "all up" run to the master cylinder. Connect the bleed contraption and wait.

Safety wired the bolts and check the installation. Pushed the aircraft and the brake stopped it. Held the brake and tried to push it aircraft. It wouldn't budge. Very good. Pulled it out of the hanger, started it up, let it warm properly and taxi tes

After I put the aircraft back into the hanger, I loosened the master cylinder and rotated it about 30 degrees to the starboard. I'll see how that works tomorrow.

The new BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) banjo bolts finally arrived from Speed Flow of Australia last week. Due to a death in the family and illnesses, I haven't gotten back to working on the Europa for several weeks. But I did today. I had also
