Got the aircraft spruce brakes installed sucessfully but after a fair bit of trouble bleeding the right breke whichh was sticking on. The LAME reckons the master cylinder might be on the way out.

Any suggestions for new master cylinders or should I just go for the Lancair "standard" replacement

Regards

Gerard
