Subject: | Replacing the brakes & wheels on my Allegro |
Well... I have disassembled the brake assembly on my Allegro... and the piston
is frozen solid. The cost of getting that fixed & ordering a set of brake linings
is nearing the cost of new wheel/brake assemblies from matco... which has
got me debating the idea of replacing the existing wheel / brake assemblies
with matco... and I figured I would hit you guys up to see if anyone has already
done anything like this ?
Thanks

Timpry,
Glad to see that you're working out the problems with your airplane. Talking about
the matco brakes to replace your existing brakes that are in fact Evektor
brakes is the way to go. I know that the later model Evektor sportstars have
been equipped with the matco brakes because of the cost and availability of the
Evektor brakes. There is also the fact that you have to consider how your
plane is registered. If it's registered as a S-LSA or E-LSA you have to get authorization
from the manufacturer to change the parts. That shouldn't be a problem.
To stay out of trouble, you would need a letter of authorization from
Doug Hempstead at B Bar D Aviation to proceed.
Make sure you do us all a favor and post your experiences during the brake change
out. I for one have considered what you are talking about doing and would learn
from your experiences.
Take care, and I hope you're flying soon!
Larry
