I've cocked up big time!!
Recently changed the undercarriage on my Mk3 to Grove. When reassembling the brake system I wasn't aware that automotive brake fluid was not compatible with Matco brakes. The weather has been poor for four weeks since we did the undercarriage upgrade, and the Kitfox has been sitting there unused. I went to fly her just now and the brake seals clearly don't like the fluid! One is leaking out of the top where the plunger goes in, and the other one has stopped working altogether.
So, my first question is this. Is the Matco MC-1 the standard master cylinder for the original Kitfox Mk3? If so, I see I can buy a rebuild kit.
Secondly, will I need to get new seals for the seals in the brake end too?
Any help appreciated.
