Help! Shinn brake adjustment screws needed

[Ryan]

Hey everyone, I am in need of two adjustment screws for Shinn Brakes. ( I have the other two) The little boot looking things with the other triangle that goes on them and the lng nut that has the clip holes. Anybody have any extras? Literally the last two parts I need for our project. Tried Skybound, they either do not answer or when they do they are always checking stock and do not return my calls. Thanks.

Re: Help! Shinn brake adjustment screws needed

Those stinking little adjusters seem to always be a stumbling block on brakes. We need to figure out how to MAKE them for the tribe. Once we have a method we could make up a batch and sell everyone a spare set. When they are worn they don't work worth a blast and make setting up the brakes almost impossible. Do you have a worn set and need new ones or are they completly missing?

Hank, I have two, and the others have disappeared somewhere in the 20 years of storage. They were fairly new when the plane was flying.

If it is like my plane, they will turn up.......The day after you get new ones.

Ryan, keep talking with Skybound. It took quite a while, but they did come through for me on some other parts after a couple of weeks of pestering them.

does anyone have a schematic of the Shinn brake assembly, they are not complex but my trouble seems to keep the little triangle adjusters in place while the shoes go back on. They do go on with the adjusters wedging against the end of the shoe, below and the brake mounting plate vertically ,on the lower shoe, Im I thinking right.?Pictures are worth a thousand words.

You might try Fresno Airparts 559 237-4863 They have parts for older aircraft. Its just a shot in the dark.

On many occasions over the years I have cut the head off a machine screw and ox/acet welded the wedge back on. Touch up on the grinder and good to go. I also put never seize on them at assemble also.
