Does anybody know of a wrecked 2-33 that is being parted
out and may
have a good wheel assembly?


Last summer I had the brake assembly out of our club's
2-33. The brake is a Cleveland item, and you can get
new brake drums for it. I got a new drum from Wickes
Aircraft Supply, and it was fairly cheap. Haven't
installed
it yet, though.

I guess it all comes down to the drum diameter. I have the sneaky
suspicion that someone in the past bored them out way too big.


If the drum has been machined over diameter, a brake specialist should
be able to measure the drum and fit overthick linings on the shoes to
match.

(That may explain why you have "worn" shoes with plenty of wear lining
left on them).
