Although the much modified gear doors finally seem to work,  now the  problem is that the  right main hydraulic cylinder has started leaking.  WOW, a little hydraulic fluid sure goes a long way!!!!  Seems that the leak is between the cylinder barrel and the mounting flange that holds the downlock.  Since the mounting flange is mounted to the cylinder barrel with 4 nut/bolts, I assume that there must be an O-ring  in there that has died from old age.  (Vintage 1994)

Has anyone had this problem?  Anyone know the name and address of the cylinder manufacturer?  I assume that the cylinder should be returned to the mfgr for repair or is this something that a local machine shop can repair??  Comments, suggestions????
