My question is does the master brake cylinder proportion the fluid evenly ALL the time or could this be the culprit? Ercoupe brakes are as simple as dirt. The master cylinder feeds a pipe that runs under the pilot's right buttock, where there is a tee that 'proportions' the pressure to the brakes. Should I buy a new housing? I see Univair has them but does Skyport? How much do they cost? It's Saturday so no one was there to answer my price questions. Does anyone have one of these sitting around at a reasonable cost? Thanks in advance. The Cleveland conversion ain't cheap, but when you subtract the cost and hassle of repairing your Goodyears, it looks a little better. When you consider that it will reliably stop the airplane, even better. The failure mode you're experiencing seems all-too-common, and may be more dangerous than no brakes, because nothing will send you off the side faster than one brake that works...only one. I'm not saying that it won't happen with Clevelands, only that it is much less likely. It's one thing the hang onto the Goodyears when they're working right, but once they develop a problem... ...86 them!
