I have been flying my 252 for 7 years and several hundred hours across Europe. From time to time I have seen brake defects on the left main gear/tire and blamed myself that I pushed the brake paddle too hard. However, recently I have seen more significant defects on the very same left tire, which prompted a tire replacement too soon after replacement. I have been exceedingly careful not to apply any brake power during and after landing. My hypothesis is that the left brake is somewhat locked during landing causing the fast erosion of my tires (with a typical "brake plate" on them). This could be a malfunctioning brake system keeping the left wheel locked after take-off (after which I apply brake pressure before moving gear up). I always check the parking brake before landing that it is not engaged, I also do not use main brakes during landing, but potentially the left is slightly engaged when I use rudder? Has any one seen this in a Mooney? Any idea what the culprit might be? Thanks, Udo

I need to replace the pilot's brake master cylinders in my 1967 F model. Before I throw down for a set of 10-24D upgrades, does anyone have a set of Cleveland 10-49 master cylinders in good condition that I could buy off of you, or a good place to get them? It needs to be soon; I'll probably pull the trigger on buying the 10-24D's this afternoon. Thanks for any information. Sincerely, Craig Steffen -
My J still has its original brake master cylinders: Paramount VI-15-625CH One of the cylinders is leaking. i am hoping overhaul with new o-rings will take care of the leak. But just in case the cylinder is not overhaul-able, are they alternate cylinders to replace the original one ( with same footprint)
