Hi Folks,

I bought some brake pads from Europa but they seem to be the wrong size - they are a bit smaller and the holes don't match. I got in touch with them and they say that they are the only ones they supply, though they have had the same problem reported by someone else. 

Has anyone come across this, and if so, where did you get the right ones from?



Many Thanks,

Paddy Clarke

Hi! Paddy.

I'm a little unsure about this info. because of the trike/mono factors

however I have a couple of Aircraft Spruce & Speciality Co. packets marked

"Rapco brake lining#RA 66-1?6 p/n 06-16956" Loc:19A" I can't make out the ?



I also had some confusion from Europa over the length of the rivets.

However I broke one lining and managed to use a spare lining canibalised

from my unused Mono brake so there must be some commonality.

I strongly advise you to use the correct rivet fitting tool ...that's why I

buggered one!

Europa is telling "porkies" since I'm quite sure my linings came from them

because I wouldn't have researched the Rapco linings myself.

I think there in lies the solution ....the Rapco rivets supplied with the

Rapco Linings aren't long enough so you need the longer rivets from Europa !

Regards

Hi Paddy,



We have had the same problem, we put our old ones back on and told

Europa about the problem, even included a picture.

Hi Paddy

 Not sure if this is any help but i have ordered a set of WHLBRL-1 linings with rivets from

 Matco   http://www.matcomfg.com/RelineKitsSwiftline-tp2-12.html

 they come with two different length of rivets, these are suitable for the tri-gear,

 regards

 Ivor
