Re: dual puck Clevelands
I suppose you could always change the brake calipers back to single with the smaller wheels.....

Re: dual puck Clevelands
Having once switched to double puck brakes, I'd never go back to singles. The doubles just work so much better.
How many of you guys remember how crappy automobile and pick up truck brakes were before they perfected power brakes?
Would you ever go back?

Re: dual puck Clevelands
No! I have a recurring dream where I'm driving a car, I'm standing on the brake pedal as hard as I can, and the car is barely slowing down. A bad impression from experiences long ago....blueldr wrote:How many of you guys remember how crappy automobile and pick up truck brakes were before they perfected power brakes?

Re: dual puck Clevelands
It's important to note, I believe, that none of those illustrations are on Cessnas. Do not expect YOUR C-170 to have those exact installations.Aryana wrote:Single puck:

Thanks
The way I see the pictures, the double pucks will have 2 sets of plungers.
I will get to the hangar in a couple days and compare to mine.
