flashlight lanyards and a few other questions

[DARKSCOPE001]

Ok guys so last night I was working on a cessna 310 and i was filling up the brake Reservoir with a verry crude method of doing so It involved a water bottle with a hole in the cap through wich a piece of flexible tubing was pushed, the idea behind this crude and verry horrid device was that i was to put the end of the hose up to the opening on the res. and squeeze the bottle and fill up the res. with hydralic fluid. Well more fluid probably seeped out between the top of the cap and the hose than into the damn reservoir well there was hydralic fluid all over the floor (no carpeting) and my flashlight was laying down there so that i could see. well the hydralic fluid got all over my lanyard on the flashlight so my question is, should I take the lanyard off? i washed it out when i finaly crawled out of the foot space but i dont know. and i had a few other questions for you guys but i forget now

THANKS

I don't know, but if I were you I'd probably just replace the lanyard. I don't like to come into contact with Brake fluid, and even if it's been washed off it seems like residue could stick around.

550 paracord works great for lanyards.

Ah, the old 550 cord. The Army loved making dummy cords (civilians call them lanyards) out of that stuff. No toolbox is complete without some lengths of 550 cord and a roll of 100 mph tape...

I know the C310 brake reservoir of which you speak. Fun to get to, eh? I use one of these to top it off.

I get to be the go-to guy for anything behind or under the panel... 'cause I'm the only one who get upside down and fit behind there.
