Hi! All
Any help /suggestions with a problem encountered renewing the brake
linings?
I have Europa supplied Aircraft Spruce Rapco brake linings supplied as a
kit
with the rivets, I also have the correct anvil and punch to install the
linings on the back plates.
Having split two linings I have examined all the parts and it would seem
that the rivets are flat under the heads and the hole in the new pads is
countersunk.
The rivets are marked "4-4" and they don't seem long enough to exit the
back of the plate to begin to "peen" over before "snugging" on to the
new
pad hence when more "peening" is applied the pad splits before the
unchamfered rivet assumes a conical shape to match the chamfered hole in
the
new lining.
To me it is quite obvious that the rivets should be chamfered under the
heads then they just may be long enough to "PEEN" OVER BEHIND THE PLATE.
Otherwise just supplying longer unchamfered rivets will still split the
pads?
Any one overcome this problem ? and how ?
I'd be delighted to hear.
Regards
Bob Harrison.
