What you need is examples of 337 Field Approvals from previously modified aircraft to see how they accomplished their installation, you also reference this list of previously approved installations as part of your approved data in your Field Approval. These 337s will show exactly how install the brakes, which is simple, your IA can assist you. The only thing this chat room will show is the conversations regarding peoples installations. I do however recommend the Fairchild Club disc, as well as asking this chat group for registration numbers and copies of their 337s of previously approved aircraft. My registration number is N81207 and is F24R46-108, I also did a friends and his is N81363, F24r46-263. Although these are 24s and not PTs, the installations are the same and you can use the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to help make yours. I would be glad to send you copies of mine but the Yahoo chat site won't allow attachments on emails, so if you email me at higham_jim@... I will forward it to you.
