'G'day Jim, We are not having much luck here, I must be a bit dumb but I don't know what the rest of your email address is. Is it j--@yahoo.com ? or something else? I don't even know what country you are in. In the message below you have put A at the end of my email address which it does not have an...

'G'day Jim and Stuart, Have been looking through my stocks to see what I had with no luck.Jim, I first thought that you were looking for the stepped type as used on P-40 etc which I have but then checked the Fairchild parts book to see that It was quite different.

'G'da Jim, Thanks for the advice. Here in Australia we do not have field approvals as such unless such a mod has been done before and then that approval can be followed. The original approval needs to be done by a certifying engineer who I am sure would require the data you have outlined. It is beca...

They have single piston one puck calipers and as new tyres and I would like to use them on my F24W41.I believe they are similar to the orig...
