Hi Peter,
I do not have your problem of distortion but I have noticed that my disc
is quite worn after about 400 hours and ~ 600 landings. It will probably
need replacement at some stage. I have previously bought a standard
Cleveland 500x5 pressure plate and a back plate to have available as
brake pad change out items and they work fine. The Cleveland part
numbers are #063-00500 and #064-00500 and are available from the A/C
Spruce catalogue. I suspect that the standard Cleveland 500x5 disc
(#164-17 listed at USD105.95) shown by A/C Spruce is also a change out
part for the Europa. Can anybody on the Europa-List confirm this?
Alternatively, Roger at roger@europa-aircraft.com gives very good
service for spare parts with airmail shipping to North America and will
probably have the item in stock.
Cheers, John

While conducting my Annual I discovered that the rotor on my wheel was
quite distorted (wobbly). I have removed it and taken it to a machine
shop but the distortion, caused through uneven heating, is too great to
remove by lathe. My question is, where are these rotors made or what
type of steel should I use to have a new rotor made? Thanks in advance
for your suggestions .
