The AZ 2213-ID means that the inside is machined and  you can get the same drum AZ 2213 OD that has the Outside machined for the band brakes.......

Hi

Apologies for delayed reply.
Great link & info, thank you very much!
Guess I will order those drums...

Ref.: Heel Brakes

Hi Tom

Apologies for my delayed reply.

Regarding the heel brakes, your very informative post has vanished in thin air...  
If you don't mind, could you please send it again?

Thank you and cheers
Reto

All interesting stuff, TTT. Great the way different people come up with all these clever ideas. Useful links from Harless, too, for the improved brake drums.

Reto, sorry I can't post pix of my heel brakes. I don't have any useful ones at present, & unfortunately my back has failed me (from helping a mate install a reconditioned car engine in his daughter's car). So I'm confined to the floor & can't take photos of my system.  But I will as soon as I become a little more mobile!

Hi TTT

Thank you very much for the pictures!
Certainly it is a great help and inspiring for designing my system.

Cheers and tnx again...

Hi Bruce

Omg, that's painful...

If you believe it or not, I had the same issue about 3 weeks ago from heavy lifting in the garden.
Was AOG for nearly one week. I am sure you get pampered though and consequently will go through a speedy recovery...  
No rush regarding the pictures, TTT's are very useful and Harless' link will help too...

I will start this weekend with the grand old lady's gearbox.

Get well soon.
Cheers

It's fantastic to get so many ideas of how to arrange/improve the brake system.
Thank you again TTT for the pics!

I take the liberty to share some pictures which recently Ricardo has send to me.
In my understanding it's a toe brake system and has been build by a passionate home builder quite a while ago.
The fabrication though would be a bit too much for my humble machineries I've got in my work shop...  

Does anybody in this forum know, if such a complete brake set (or similar) could be purchased some where?
Together with the suggested drum upgrade (by Harless G.), it would be a great "package solution".

Thank you again Ricardo for sharing!

Thank you for any additional inputs!

Cheers
Reto

Quoted from TreeTopsTom

Here it is...
I imagine these (might) be drawings a machine shop could work
with to make them for you. Well guess they would need welding
experience as well

Hi TTT

Great drawings, tnx.
Unfortunately though, the level of fabrication competence of any machine shop here in Thailand is just not up to the task.

Had a look at the available Spruce kit. It might be possible to modify them for non hydraulic, yet they might be too bulky for the limited leg room space in the MM. But thank you for the link.

Would you know who actually designed them?

Cheers
Reto

Hi Reto

I've posted some pix of my brakes on my thread FYI. But some of the solutions here look better!

Quoted from TreeTopsTom

AS (pre-made brake pedals) might be to bulky.

Seems you will save yourself some trouble if you go with one of the heel brake
designs. You get quite a few ideas to go with.         TTT

Hi TTT
Yes, I will pm Ricardo and ask.
The Eros, due to the low mounted engine, is quite restricted with the hight of the pedals which can be installed.
You are spot on with this and that's what I actually meant with "bulky".
Thank you for your research on the topic!
Cheers
Reto

Guys:
About those brakes, unfortunately I have no idea who sent me the pictures and drawings.
Couldn't find anything in old files, Sorry about that.

Hi Ricardo

Don't worry about it.
But thank you anyway for the plans and pictures!

Have a great day.

Good Day Gentlemen

Finally I am back in the workshop.
It is a joy to work on the Max again.
The wings keep me now busy...

Cheers
Reto

Nice to see you are back working on the Eros.

Hope all is going well for you now.

Welcome back Reto.

Hope to see your wings taking shape in your beautiful clean workshop.

Thank you, I hope so too... With Bruce so far ahead I shall not stop any more...

Hi Bruce,

A thin layer of saw dust has already settled everywhere, very homey!

I need to send you on a 6 month around the world trip to catch up with you...

Cheers
Reto

Hi,

  If you need a hand I am just down the highway a few hours. I am very good with wood working You are doing a excellent job. Keep up the good work.

First front wing spare web glued on.
I hope the web will straighten the caps.

During curing time installed wheel brakes on metal landing gear.
4 distance bushes fabricated to allow enough axle sticking out for safe strut attachment.
Had to re-bend 1 brake lever as 2 x R/H were supplied with the kit.

2 wheel pants bracket done.

Excited... Finally found nice rudder/brake pedals...  

Where did you find those Rudder Pedals?

Wow! Too nice to wear. 😆

Cool!

Those are nice rudder pedals. Glad your back!

Quoted from Ultramax

Where did you find those Rudder Pedals?

With A. Spruce, non stock item, I am not sure if they will work, but will give it a try...

Quoted from Ricardo

Hi Ricardo!

Not sure if you referring to the pants or brake pedals....  

Hope all fine on your end!
