See attached pic=8A they are a mix! Looks like black from the reservoir,
opaque white onwards. Thanks for the info, I'll check out Aircraft Spruce.
There is a small access hatch about 8" behind it on starboard side, but no
clear way to access it directly=8A. I guess I'll have to get mirrors and torc
h
and try and see if I can service it!
Thanks,

What colour are your brake pipes. If they were supplied by Europa and are
black they are 6mm tube. If they are supplied by Europa and clear (white)
they are 1=8E4 inch. Brass poly flow fittings are designed for 1=8E4 inch tube
.
They will (just about) work with the black 6mm tube but can be blown of
with pressure or knocked of easily. Europa changed over to the clear
(white) 1=8E4 tube when this was pointed out to them. So if you are replacin
g
any tube make sure it is 1=8E4 inch.
As far as I know you cannot buy the olives on there own. You can buy the
brass end fitting with the olive and sleeve in it from Aircraft Spruce part
No 261-UB-4 . Have a look at the range, search for Brass Poly-flo
fittings.
Sorry but I have no magic way of getting at your parking brake valve. I
assume you can just about access it from the inspection hatch behind the
fuel cock on the starboard side of the tunnel.
