Default Looking for Tost Standard Drum Brake Wheel (USA)

Need Tost Standard Drum Brake Wheel that fits a 5.00 -5 tire. This will go on a DG400. Looks like it is standard on several other gliders.

The Spec are 125 x 20 for the bearing.

Changed my brake pads and found out the drum material has some cracks.

Looking for new or used but good shape.

One not available at W&W or other vendors at present

Thanks

Kevin Anderson

We've seen these cracks in several Tost 5" wheels, so it might be hard to find a used but uncracked wheel half.

If your DG is licensed Experimental, we can set you up with a Matco disk brake unit that's much more effective than the Tost.

Sounds interesting and I would like to explore some more. I emailed you my contact info. Please email yours and I will get in touch later today.

Have you converted a DG400 and how involved is the conversion?

Others might be interested in the details also.

Thanks
Kevin
