• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

During my annual I was hunting all those little oil leaks I discovered over the last year. I was quite succesfull but one little leak still remains. The swivel joint of the Christen sump fitting (see pic from the eagle manual) shows a few drops every hour.

I can't find any details on the fitting and wonder if its an easy fix by simply replacing o-rings or do I need to replace the whole fitting?

And I guess replacement parts are only available through aviat. Right?
Thanks for your help
Mike
