Re: Glue and brake linings

Point well taken reguarding legal issues, on our certificated aircraft. There is an excellent video on this subject right now on the EAA web site, It is under the Mutitimedia heading on the Eaa home page , sub heading Videos, It is titled Webinar- Owner produced parts for Cetificated aircraft, presented by Mike Busch. It is one hour 20 minutes but I would recomend every one who can listen to it . It clears up a lot of misunderstanding on this subject, and many will be plesently suprised .

Mike how was the trip home Sunday?

Slower than the trip down there, but good, no problem. At least it was clear for the flight back so I could see which trucks were passing up my shadow along I39. How was your hop home George? Next Sunday is the Rochelle pork chop lunch by the way if you're interested.

Re: Glue and brake linings

Being from England, the Ambassador may not realize that America is the most litigious country in the world. Too many lawyers in the first place, then on top of that, many are poorly trained. MANY MANY wind up running for office as they can't make a decent living otherwise and wind up in Congress! My brake linings are riveted but I seem to remember someone taking some to a muffler shop where the operator quickly rivieted them at nominal cost. Does this sound right? JC

Or president. I don't think I would be taking them to a muffler shop.

I will have to check with my wife to see if she wants to go, we were planning on a trip south to a restaurant in Missouri.

Hartenbower's is always an interesting landing with all the planes lining both sides. It has been several years since I dropped in there.

Re: Glue and brake linings

I plan to be there. One of my friends is going to be there also in his tcraft. Look forward to seeiong you and meeting your friend.

George, my drill press looks like turn of the century, made of cast iron, but nothing like what you have!

By the way, we're planning on making the flight breakfast at Hartenbower's airport on Sunday. My buddy with the RAF gyro from El Paso is meeting us. Maybe we'll see you there if you're free.

Re: Glue and brake linings

Mike I use the same procedure, except I have a mill with a depth stop. Greatest drill press you could own. George

Re: Glue and brake linings

Hey Mike, thanks for the info and the link. I have heard of several things being used, but that is probably the easiest item to use for the countersink.

Tribe,

Mike's Rivet tool looks good however you still have to drill and countersink the rivets. Which drill bit is used to do this job.

Frank,

Drill size is 9/64". Get the linings fit correctly in the drum first, then drill from the outside, though the holes in the drum, and through the lining. Use a 5/16" countersink to about 3/32" depth. I have a flat faced Dremel tool bit that works great. I think I picked it up at ACE?? I measured and marked 3/32 + around the countersink with a Sharpy, and chucked it into my drill press. That's how I got them deep enough without blowing through the linings. I did use the "deluxe" rivet tool. No hammering or forcing anything.

Edit: found this on Lowe's website: Dremel 5/16" High-Speed Cutter - Model# 115
