Subject: | Monowheel brake caliper |
Hi all
I have noticed that the piston in the monowheel brake caliper overhangs
the edge of the brake disk. This may result in uneven wear on the pads.
Are there any other brake calipers (possibly using 2 smaller diameter
pistons) which can be used instead?

Hi All - me again
My monowheel trailer is having some refurbishment. The large wheel ramp
hinge broke and has been replaced with a heavy stable door type steel
hinge. Does anyone know where to buy the original pattern hinge - made
in steel rather than aluminium?
Thanks again

The Europa caliper is a clone of the Cleveland and as such is used
successfully on thousands of planes without problems. What you DO need
to look out for is re-lined pads. If the rivets stand proud of the back
of the pads, they will contact the piston and cant the pads causing
uneven ware.
If you want a really classy wheel and brake combination, take a look at
the Beringer products:

Page 9 for Europa Monowheel conversion.
It's lovely stuff, beautifully made and much lighter than the OEM.
