Use matco's they are the most affordable, they also have some good information on the Grove landing gear site about ratio needed to compress the master cylinder. Tim

Re: brake master cylinder

Here is how I did mine. . . . . it allowed me to run dual brakes with just 2 cylinders. Also I have no brake fluid in the cabin to make a mess.

In the photo it is not finish welded- just tacked into position. Since this photo it has been fully welded up and tested- works like a charm and doesn't require and mods to the airframe other than the welding on the gear.

One more- the tie rods were not welded in yet but you get the picture.

Re: brake master cylinder

Was that done by STC, or 337? I've been wondering about hydraulic brakes for a while.
