Leak in brakes

[M20F-1968]

When I was doing my rebuild I added co-pilot brakes.  I called Bill Wheat for the system drawings and he stated that there have been several systems installed in the Vintage planes over the years.  He did not like to system which has a shuttle vale which attempts to isolate the pilot and co-pilot  brakes.  He sent me the most straightforward simple system with no shuttle valve.  You might look into what system you have if you are having difficulties.  The plumbing can always be changed to match the most desirable system.

I helped my IA completely rebuild the brakes on a Baron, the shuttle valves made bleeding a PITA
