My contact is out this week but I'll follow-up next week and see if I can
get a status on the pads. I thought he told me he was getting a new supply
after OSH, maybe he sold off that stock already, which is surprising
considering how many he was getting. Supposedly the "old" stock was far more
durable than the new ones Rapco is working on getting certified or
something. A few months back Rapco mentioned that the new ones would be out
by SnF, than it was OSH.
Hopefully I'll be able to get a more official response on options by next
week.

When someone hears they are available again, please post.
I am only at 76.9 hrs, but I like keeping spares on hand of oil
filter/oil/tires/tubes/pads/start & master contactors/fuel selector
valve/prop oring/caliper oring. I have all but pads and caliper oring in
case someone gets in a bind and is near S. Ohio.

Hey Kelley McMullen
I believe that you had a definite opinion on the Matco nose wheel verse the
Beringer. Do you know what Dresser tire and tube combination the Matco
wheel needs?

I got what Tim Olsen recommended on his web site.
"The PROPER Wheel is the NW511.25. Yes, that is right...they sell you
the WRONG wheel, on purpose, to save them headaches. You can just order
the WHLNW511.25 from Matco and skip the other one in your kit...and buy
the Matco Axle at the same time, because the standard Van's axle is
going to cause you headaches in the long run too. Then, skip the tube
that comes with the kit too....get your tubes for all tires from Desser
Tire. What you want for the front is the 500-5 "Leakguard" Butyl Tube
with the TR-67 Valve
<http://www.desser.com/store/products/500%252d5-%22LEAKGUARD%22-BUTYL-TUBE--%28TR%252d67-VALVE%29.html>.
So with your new nosewheel, new leakguard tube, and new axle, your
nosewheel will be complete and give you hundreds of hours of trouble
free service.
Now for the mains... Personally, especially after switching to the
Desser Leakguard tube for the mains (15/600-6 size), I haven't had
interference issues on the mains. However, I've heard from a couple
builders who have...the valve cap comes dangerously close to the cotter
pin on the nut used to hold the wheel on. Although I've only used the
Van's tube, and the Desser Leakguard tubes, I think the clearance was
better with the Leakguards. But, there is a better way. What you want
is the Desser 15/600-6 "Leakguard" Butyl Tube with the "New Easy Valve"
<http://www.desser.com/store/products/15%7B47%7D600%252d6-%22LEAKGUARD%22-BUTYL-TUBE-%28NEW-EASY-FLATE-VALVE%29.html>.
Once you switch to the Leakguards, you'll be adding air far less often,
and the "New Easy Valve" will eliminate any possibility of interference
issues for you. So skip the tubes on your kit order also. Personally,
I've also found that the Desser 15/600-6 "High Performance Retreads"
<http://www.desser.com/store/products/15%7B47%7D600%252d6-6-PLY-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-RETREAD-AIRCRAFT-TIRE.html>
gave better tire life at a low cost, too, so if it were me building
again, I'd skip ordering ALL the tires and tubes from Van's, and just
order all of them from Desser. The nose tire is the "500-5 6-Ply Aero
Classic Vintage"
<http://www.desser.com/store/products/500%252d5-6-PLY-AERO-CLASSIC-VINTAGE-AIRCRAFT-TIRE.html>
tire. Then you'll get all 3 tubes, and 3 tires, from Desser
<http://www.desser.com>, and the nose axle and wheel from Matco
<http://www.matcomfg.com/>. The only thing to get from Van's is the
Cleveland main wheels themselves."
So credit Tim with doing the research. The only thing I did different is
to get both main and nose tires as retreads.

Yeah, I mis-read the question. Vans supplies the correct tire, wrong tube,
if you buy from them. Along with the wrong wheel. Follow Tim's
recommendations, get the wheel and axle from Matco, tires and tubes from
Desser. While I haven't done the wheel pants yet, mine is sitting on the
wheels and tires, and Tim's recommendations on tubes are right on to avoid
issues with valve stems.
