  • 12.02.2002: The Busak&Shamban RVA000040-T40 S seems to work, I also changed the piston rod for a new 4h9 hardened one. I calibrated the TA yesterday and it seemed to work fine without loosing pressure.
  • 15.03.2002: Back to the roots: After manufacturing a transparent tool I detected the cause for the leakage. A standard O-Ring is more flexible than the special hydraulic sealings, so I’m trying now to install one. Hold on.
  • 29.04.2002: Ordered the parts for two new hydraulic TA’s, stainless steel, double-sealing, guidance for the pin made from bronze. Please keep the fingers crossed for me!
