Leaking brake master cylinder

Post by N8249A »

One of my brake master cylinders leaks and I would like to replace or rebuild both. In addition it has the serated plunger which I recall someone stating they should be replaced. Anyone have a source for these parts? Thanks, Marty

I guess I should call these the brake actuators ( the one on the pedals)
One of them leaks and I have to add fluid after every three flights or so.

Hi, Marty!
YOu should look at the Spruce catalog adn you'll see they carry all the Cleveland repair/replacement parts. You can obtain the complete, new master cyl. Model 10-35 from them for $209 each. which will solve your serrated rod problem as well. (They also handle the overhaul kits.)
