You need O.C. Baker's input. He replaced his with Grove brakes and got
much better results.

OC if you are out there I need to talk to you about replacing the
existing matco brake assembly on the
KIS TR1. That is to say: the brake calipers, the brake pads, and the rotors

Hi Rob,
My TR-1 is kit#47 and there were a number of KIS owners with Matco brake
problems including me. In effective stopping and having to replace pads
every 50 hours or so. The problem was not with the brakes but the geometry
of the brake peddles, they are to short and don't apply the correct pressure
at the pads. As I recall I was getting only a few hundred pounds of pressure
and we need about 2000 lbs., as I recall. I lengthened my peddles and got
the proper pressure at the pads and they work very well now. Probably not
quite as good as Grove but acceptable and allot less expensive than
changing. My pressure numbers may not be correct but the difference is
dramatic.
I met with the owner of Matco Mfg. at Oshkosh in 2010, I think, and used his
demonstration rig to see the difference the brake peddle geometry made and
it worked great for me. I also upgraded to his new rotor design and replaced
the piston pucks. He had all the necessary replacement parts.
I would recommend giving them a call.

Hello Rob, I am in hospital right now -- spaced out on drugs.
Go to KIS archive search. Search for this subject in my posts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
