I'd appreciate any reports from those using the Matco wheel and brake assembly: http://www.matcomfg.com/WHLBRKWI600RV10CONFIG-idv-3814-4.html
Thanks,

Thanks all for the response.
I’m going through the RV-10 finish kit parts list to delete all the stuff I don’s want. I’ll add the standard brake and wheel assembly to the list (that is getting long):
- No cowl - will be using the new James RV-10 cowl (used the old version on my first RV-10)
- No spinner - will use a 14” spinner to go with the James cowl
- No wheel pants - will be using the James wheel pants like I did on my first RV-10, a lot less clunky.
- No safety latch - will use the Plane Around cam latch.
- No inner tubes - will replace with 90 degree stem tubes

I'm very happy with my Matco setup. The only downside was extra work on the wheelpants bracket (has to be modified). But you get two pistons instead of the one on the stock brakes. Also recommend the TS Flightline brake lines which allow the caliper to float better than stock lines.
Thanks all for the response.

My current list of stuff to delete for to use the Matco wheels and brakes include:
- U NW501.25 Nose Wheel W/Bearing. I’ll use the Matco NW511.25 nose wheel.
- U-00011 Grove WHE&BRK 6x6.0. I’ll use (2) Matco WHLW1600xLT-2
- I’ll add the Matco RV-10 nose wheel axle.

One more question, Carl:
When using the planearound latch kit and angled latch pins and pin guides (which I have already), I'm assuming you delete the latch pins, but not the rack and pinion parts, from the Van's kit?
No cowl - will be using the new James RV-10 cowl (used the old version on my first RV-10)
OK, that makes sense. Is there a place to find the "kit discounted price"?
