'Tom,

See attached 337s.

Give me a call on the cell, better way of doing Clevelands than we have done in the past. Adopted efforts of the WACO club. Slick setup with Clevelands.

'Tom,
I did a total rebuild of the Hayes brakes about a year ago. New lines, tubes, rebuild brake cylinders etc.
They work fine for me on my f-24, not as positive as clevelands, but enough I feel very comfortable.

'David,

I lieu of the complete Cessna 310 setup. I'm using Cessna 310 wheels, with 210 discs and 210 brakes. Two puck vs three puck. Also the disc fit inside the wheel after minor machine work to sit flush. Drill and tap 4 1/4 bolt holes and secure disc to wheel half. The 210 brakes sit inside the wheel, flush to the outside. Clean install, not to much brake. All covers up with wheel fenders. Slick set up. I have pics of install on WACO YKC. One time field FAA 337 form.

'Hi Jamie ..

Would be very interested in seing the photos and copies of the 337s for your brake install. How were the caliper mounts fabricated and where do they attach? I have expander tubes and when finances permit would like to upgrade to something a little easier to maintain. The full 310 conversion seemed like overkill to me. I like the idea of the 210 calipers and discs inside the wheel.

Regards,
