to be original cylinders with a screw in the top as opposed to the

Hi Larry
The problem occurs on both sides which are independent of each other so I
reckon its something to do with the design or my setup. The Great Plains model
has a resevoir integral with the master cylinder. I have the master cylinders
mounted vertically in a toe/heel arrangment with the pl
John,
There are a couple of things that can be going on here.
#1, make absolutely sure you are using 5606 hydraulic fluid. In a pinch,
sometimes Automatic Transmission Fluid gets used instead of 5606
hydraulic. I have seen it cause the brakes to slowly lock up as
described in your previous em
Hi Jeff
I'm using a Castrol automotive DOT 4 green fluid. Great Plains says to use
automotive rather than the aviation red mineral stuff because automotive seals
are used. Nontheless I reckon you are on the right track with the fluid
expansion.
Today was hot, the brakes locked and I cracked th
..and I should clarify what I said earlier. My system does not have a
integral resevoir as such like you see in, for example, my Cessna Cardinal. All
fluid storage is within the master itself which is about 3" long by 1" diameter.

Folks,
I've heard back from Steve Bennett at Great Plains about my brake problem. He
has been really helpful given my difficulty in explaining my system to him in
email words. He has no knowledge of the problem previously which suggests it is
my setup at fault.

Mark Langford,
Did you have to cut some threads off of your brake cylinders in order for them
both to fit behind (from seated position) the horizontals of your pedals?
Thanks, Wayne Williams.

What type of brakes do you have installed. Most brakes
Tim & Netters;
The best way I have ever found to bleed brakes is to "pull" the brake fluid
from the bleeder screw at the wheel cylinder or caliper with a vacuum pump.
Most auto part stores sell these for about $25. Just keep your eye on the
reservoir to make sure it never runs dry.
As far as t
me know.
