Could anyone suggest where I might purchase seals for my matco brakes.

You can get a whole box of assorted O-Rings in almost any motor factors for about £6. They come in standard sizes and are suitable for braking systems. If there's special seals required then Airworld or LAS.

Edit:- I'm guessing the part number range is MS28775-xxx. If you still want aircraft standard seals and the MS28775's aren't available, then any of the following series are good to use :- M83248/1-xxx, M83248/2-xxx, M83461/1-xxx. I can't remember if the AN6227 range follows the same sizing sequence but they were obsolescent years ago. That's not to say they're not useable!

So did you get organised with seals Colin?

Have you tried Matco direct? I dealt with them directly for my tailwheel parts and they were very helpful. They have part numbers on their website..

The turth is that I did not need to replace seals ,I was either pumping out the excess oil that I had put in ,or they seals had swollen and are now working

so I now have a permit and I am getting the hangof steering my Avid ,
