Most recently I had to overhaul my master cylinders so I purchased 2 new ones. Some time ago I replaced the calipers with a newer style. My gear actuators are showing signs of leakage and am in process of replacing the left main actuator as it was leaking pretty badly. I attempted an overhaul myself, but I didn't know all the trade secrets which resulted in my damaging two overhaul kits - thus forcing me to order a new one. Waiting for UPS as we speak. Won't be long before I'll have to start replacing the other two as well as the gear door actuators. Mine are from kit number 077 and have been flying on my plane since '97 with over 1500 hours on 'em. Would love to do a fly-in sometime. My latest gig keeps me busy enough that I can't get away for long. Flying a GV out of VNY for an equities firm, and we're on a short string. Cheers! Pete In a message dated 5/6/2011 4:40:36 A.M.
