Brief Description:  Drain and redo master brake cylinder fittings

Drained the brake fluid because I was getting a very small amt of flood weeping from one or both of the left brake line fittings on the left master brake cylinder. I decided to drain both sides and redo everything with fresh permatex thread seal and then tightened back up with an extra turn on the left master. the right side just got more thread seal as I dont think it was leaking. The plastic lines going into the master cylinders were tightened back up to where I had them previous.

Refilled brake system as before and then removed air bubbles. Worked the brakes back and forth and moved the pedals back and forthe while working brakes to see if any leaking. Placed white paper towel under them and will let them sit afew days again and check

Marked and trimmed some relief on the upper skin where it wraps around the roll bar and then smoothed and polished the edge before clecoing back on the fuse so I could get back to cowl hinge work.
