Well I am still not quite done with this project.. The primary problem was the
T fitting I bought from aircraft spruce was supposed to have 1 1/8" npt and
2 1/8" compression fittings. It had 3 1/8" compression fittings instead.. I
am ordering a second T fitting in the hope that it will be correct.
The new wheels, tires, brakes, brake lines & master cylinder are installed.. everything
is looking fine.
Major parts list:
Matco MHMHE6B1.25 EV (matco wheel / brake assembly)
Matco WHLAXLE3EV (matco axle)
matco Mc-5 master cylinder
MCCREARY AIRTRAC 600-6 tires
high pressure tubing, right angle and t fittings, aircraft quality bolts, washers,
lock nuts.
I would probably recommend using 1/4" brake line.. since it is a LOT easier to
find fittings in this size.. in the event you are missing something.. say a T
fitting...
Total cost of materials was about $900
total time invested so far.. about 20 man hours.
I will probably post pictures of the finished product once everything is complete.

Please do post pictures of this project. I have an Allegro 2000 and am
having the hydraulic brakes tend to periodically stick (i.e. the shoe not
relaxing off of the disc). I think this may be be caused by the small
hydraulic piston in the caliper sticking. It does not do do this all the
time, and I only see it after I have landed and am trying to move the plane
by hand. If the plane sits over night the problem is gone. Anyway, if I
can't find out how to correct this problem on the brakes I now have I may
have to change in the future.
