Thank you to all that responded to my situations. Your input is truly
appreciated. I am working to become an A & P and a CFIG that will
specialize in gliders, motor gliders and motor glider transition. As such I
am interested in learning as much as I can, yet I know of no substitute for
Ahh, memory...thanks Rob. I dug into the bowels of brain cells and
remember first looking at the master cylinder, suspecting that it was a
motorcycle component, then found the Cleveland part number. I now remember

Not sure if yr H36 is ex Thai but military tend to ignore any manufacturers
type certificate, Plus the normal brake fluid they use is the aircraft stuff.
So dot4 is of course automotive.
It does sound as if U will need to replace all the
In the ex Thai Air Force Dimonas we have always used petroleum based
hydraulic fluid and we buy the seals from a local aircraft mechanic.
The Thais may have changed the fluids and seals so as to be standard with
their other aircraft. Or, more likely they put the wrong fluid in and
created a big
Rob probably has greater experience on this.
For what it is worth:
The Cleveland O rings are compatible with DOT3 in my experience. Seems like
I change them out every 8 years or so, with no leaks. I have been led to
believe that the seals/O rings in the master cylinder are not compatible
