More retraction tests. Closer, but still won't quite go into up lock. Maybe 1/4" (0.635 cm) from engaging. Back under for a couple more hours before I finally see where the blue from the fitting is rubbing on the side of the tunnel where the seat

The Issue, Continued... The blue Tee connector shown has a 3/8 NPT thread on the upper leg. it is a 3/8 x 24 National Pipe Thread. That is, it has a tapered thread. The thread measures 0.373 in on the narrow end and 0.408 in on the wide end. The othe

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.

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

2010 07 07 - Back to retraction tests. Thought that the fixtures sticking up off the caliper might be a problem. Replaced them with the 90 degree fitting and a straight hose end. Much neater and more compact, but I'll have to bleed the brakes again whe

The threads on both fittings are 24/in. So that's a match. The issue is one is straight and the other pipe thread.

What the heck... There were dead bugs all over the master cylinder. What's going on here. Get out a light, the brake fluid reservoir is full of dead bugs! $#!&$%@%^&*%@$#%%&*&^@$%@%$%$@^#$%^!!!!! Seems that wile I was spending a month

But it was enough to allow the LG to retract fully. Ran the gear up and down about a dozen times. Works great.

The final result. The banjo hose end bolts nicely to the brake. With any luck, I'll take the brake back to the airport after work tomorrow and reinstall it all and see if I can bleed the brakes.

2010 03 19 - Checked to see if the new brake banjo hardware would work while completing the Annual Condition Inspection on the Europa. This is a comparison of the original fitting from the brake with the new banjo bolt that's supposed to work. Close, bu

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
