Please Identify these Wheels/Brakes
I have a Pitts S1-C homebuilt from 1973 and the wheels and brakes do not
have any markings on them, I need to get some replacement shoes. Someone told me they are Rosenhan but I cant find any parts for those. Pictures at http://justin.is3.org/brakes TIA for your help! |

Someone told me they are Rosenhan but I cant find any parts for those. Pictures at http://justin.is3.org/brakes Yup, old (waaaay pre-MATCO) Rosenhan. Also used on HP-14 sailplane. I have one full wheel/brake set in stock. I think the shoes are a Rosenhan special. Your best bets are probably: * Call MATCO and see if they got any of the old drum brake parts when they took over the Rosenhan operation. * Send the shoes out for relining. My recommendation would be Vintage Brake in Sonora, CA (http://www.vintagebrake.com). And, by the way, I've been told that the rebuild kit for the wheel cylinder is NAPA Auto Parts wheel brake kit #127. That kit contains the rubber cups that fit the wheel cylinder. Thanks, and best regards to all Bob K. http://www.hpaircraft.com |
