My TR-250's PDWA was leaking. I made a hash getting it out (got brake fluid
everywhere, *sigh*). Now that it's out and cleaned up I have a quick
question about how o-rings fail in the presence of brake fluid. I'm pretty
sure the o-rings I bought a couple years ago were not EPDM. Still, they
didn't turn to mush as if they had dissolved in the presence of the brake
fluid. What should I have expected to find? Once I popped the shuttle out
and dried the bore out, I noticed a little bit of residue in the bore
roughly where the o-rings had been.
Bonus questions: Where can I find a replacement for the copper washer under
the big bolt? I noticed that Rimmer Bros. sells a repair kit (BAU1704A) for
brass PDWAs in TR-6's. Any idea if that will work for me?
Thx,
