Jabby Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Just an update on the fitting Matco brakes to the Jabiru's.We now have certification for these so they can be fitted to factory built aircraft and still carry out training etc. It's a good time to purchase Matco at the moment whilst the Aussie Dollar is so strong.I can order you the correct kit to fit any Jabiru and have them sent to you direct,Or we can arrange to have them fitted and certified .Cheers Jabby
emaroo Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Hi I am just about to put new brake pads on my j230. I have not heard about these new brakes from the US. Can you give some info on why they are better and what the cost is. Thanks Cheers
Jabby Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 Hi Emaroo, The reason they are so good is simple, They stop you quickly without fading time and time again. Matco supply you with a package which includes Axle;Calipers;Roters;Tyres; Tubes;(aircraft quality) Pipes;Fittings etc. The cost varies according to the exchange rate From about $1200 Aus to $1350Aus. They are easy to fit.and you will never worry about stopping again, We have also fitted them on a J430 and had them approved by CASA.If you require more info., Call me on 0408203362. Cheers Jabby
Jabby Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 You are correct ,Jabiru USA Have been fitting these brakes from day one with excellent results.
Guest DonC Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Do they fit the existing holes in the gear legs?
Jabby Posted September 23, 2010 Author Posted September 23, 2010 Hi DonC'. No, You have to fill original holes with resin and flock, and redrill four new holes, This is quite acceptable and can be certified Cheers Jabby
