Brake Cylinders Ken Andrew ksandrew aviation@andrewtent.com

Hi All  Looking for Help.

We have a 112A ser#484 and the  pilots side right brake cylinder has gone west. The parts manual does not show the numbers for the o-ring or any info on the cylinders.

Anyone have the o-ring numbers or happen to know if the o-rings could be borrowed from the co-pilots side to get the plane home. Is there something else that prevents the oil bypassing the piston? like a reed valve?

The cylinder will not build up pressure even though the system has been bled from the wheel back.

My cell number is 229.894-5808 I will try  and check back here in a couple of hours.

Thanks.
