As a side question to John, the very early coupes with the Hayes brakes used
basically automotive brake fluid.
Is the new cylinder compatible with that?



The new cylinder does not have sufficient volume to work with the Hayes
brakes.  Also, AFAIK, the only planes that use automotive brake fluid in the
brakes are the very early ones with the Hayes master, mounted forward of the
firewall. The o-rings in the Scott cylinder are not compatible with
automotive brake fluid, so most of the planes around today with Hayes brakes
should have 5606 hydraulic fluid.

 

So, to (not) answer your question, the question is moot.
