Master Cylinder Return Springs

Post by 7133 »

I have an original Goodyear Master Cylinder with a broken return spring. Is it possible to buy these anywhere?
Thanks
Michael

My plane had Goodyear master cylinders; I was told that parts are not available. Mine had a broken return spring, one piston shaft looked like it had been gouged up in a vise, and one filler plug was not vented. Oh, and there was a broken rudder pedal too. I had o/h'd Cleveland master cylinders installed, parts are readily available.

That being said, I do have the other intact Goodyear spring, if you still need it.

Or, I may know where you can get one. Let me know if you get stuck.
