My brakes were a bit weak (hand brake) so I decided it was time to bleed the clevelands. After bleeding, the handbrake would only move 2 inches, very tight, the wheel brakes were a bit dragging, but I had otherwise no brakes! Pulling the handle had zero effect. I let a bit of fluid out of the bleeder, which freed the dragging brakes, but still had no brakes. Today I took out the floor and rudder pedals to see what was going on under there. I found that when I was pulling the brake handle now, the entire assembly of the master cylinder is moving, not just the piston. Hence, no brakes. Here's the rub: There's a bar that crosses the front of the cockpit, under the floor. The floorboard and the remains of the once brake pedal both mount to it. Now hopefully someone knows what this bar is...so anyway, on this bar there is on each side, a small bracket type device which connects this bar to the structure under the floor. On the left side, right by the master cylinder, this small attaching piece is broken. Hence, the entire assembly can move some, instead of compressing the piston. Hope I haven't lost anyone yet..this brackett on the left: Does anyone know what it's called, or even a part number? I can describe it well, i just have no idea what it is, so when i call Skyport or whoever, i have no idea what to ask for. Help!
