DESCRIPTION
The **Marsh Brothers M1030 Aerostar Hydrodyne Accumulator Piston/Seal Kit** is an **FAA- and TCCA-approved upgrade** for hydraulic accumulators on applicable Piper Aerostar models.
This kit replaces the OEM aluminum piston and multiple-part seal assembly with a **non-metallic piston made from Marsh Brothers’ proprietary AeroTough® GF polymer** and advanced **AeroLas®-Flex (Thorseal®) dynamic seals**. This design eliminates metal-on-metal contact, reduces seal failure modes, and extends the life and reliability of the accumulator.
The kit simplifies the accumulator internals by reducing the part count from five under the OEM design to just three under the Marsh Brothers design, helping streamline installation and future maintenance.

## Applications
- Upgrade/replacement of hydraulic accumulator piston and seal system in Aerostar Hydrodyne accumulators
- Suitable for Aerostar aircraft models covered under Marsh Brothers Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) — replacing original piston and dynamic seal assemblies
