Is there such a thing as a master cylinder rebuild kit for our brakes, if so can anyone tell me where to get one? My brakes are fine now, but I'd like to go through the masters and see how they look. It would be nice to already have the seals on hand if they don't cost to much.

Do you know which ones/models you have? Do you have a Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) for your aircraft? Do you know your serial number? There were five different cyls, and then there was a modification kit (52-3-870) for the early ones. Do you know if your cylinders have been replaced, modified, or converted to McCauley or Clevelands?

I would look at replacing the master cylinder hoses as well.

Thanks for the link mod. Hmmm, George you've given me more to think about. I have Cleveland wheels and brakes but I don't know if the masters were changed or not, I'll have to do more research this weekend.
