Hi all. I?m starting my fifth annual a couple of weeks early because my starter is crapping out. I have a Sky-Tec 149-12LS. As is usual with starters, the solenoid attached to the starter housing is the culprit. I really hate to pay several hundred dollars for a new starter when all I need is the solenoid. Anybody got any idea where I can get a replacement? My second question involves the brakes. Since I?m installing new shoes, I just as well change the O-rings. Last summer, I toasted an O-ring taxing all the way around to the Northwest corner camping area at Oshkosh. The EAA emergency maintenance folks kindly gave me the correct replacement, whatever size that was. But I?d MUCH rather change it in my hanger that on the grass at OSH. Anybody know the size of that O-ring that goes in the standard Van?s Cleveland 500/5 wheel/brake assembly? Thanks.
