I don't remember what the manual says, but I do remember that there have been several iterations on the pedal/master cylinder end, and on the caliper end. I have the "original" Matco calipers, and have had one fail by cracking and another failure due to a combination of cylinder corrosion and O-ring wear. Fortunately neither resulted in an accident, though the latter caused a little pucker when I wasn't sure whether I'd be stopped before I ran out of pavement. Many here on the LML have recommended the Grove replacements, and I'm giving that some consideration after a full day yesterday workingon the Matcos. http://www.groveaircraft.com/56-3a.html Not having to separate the wheel from the disk to change the brake pads is a strong selling point.
