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?

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 William Bliss G-WUFF ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:08:38 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Monowheel brake caliper From: Nigel Graham 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: http://www.beringer-aero.com/file/brg_catalogues/9/cata_fichier/1_europe-in-english.pdf Page 9 for Europa Monowheel conversion. It's lovely stuff, beautifully made and much lighter than the OEM.
