Brake failure

Well Known Member
A friend lost fluid in his RV-10’s right brake today. He wants to order an O-ring for the caliper before days end, anyone know the PN off hand for the stock Cleveland’s?
 
Check the Vans web store. They now recommend a different O ring than stock, one with better high temperature performance. Unfortunately last time i looked it was back-ordered. But you can get the part number there.
 
Thanks,
I spoke with him later and there was brake fluid near the fuselage gear fairing. I suspect a fitting is leaking….
 
Or the line is cracked. I had both side at different times crack due to flexing and ended up replacing the hard line with flexible hoses.
