View Full Version : Can't find right brake caliper for C-150C wheels!

I have to replace the left brake caliper assembly on my Cessna 150C
but the part that Wentworth sent has anchor bolts that are 2.5 inches
long and the original anchor bolts are 1.5 inches long. The part won't
fit although it lists as the correct Cessna part number for the serial
number on my 150. ???

Hi there. I am assuming that your A&P mechanic hasn't looked at these parts
yet. If not, let him (or her) know about the problem and perhaps they can
give Wentworth a call. Sometimes cross references have a bad number. Perhaps
there was an AD that called for a replacement caliper... Again, the A&P
should be able to find out. Maybe the I.A. who does your annuals can shed
some light on the matter as well... they have a lot of experience in these
matters.
