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 ?

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!
