Good morning all,
I've searched around a bit without finding exactly what I'm looking for..
I've been hoping to make the 380/150 tires for on our -8. I just got around to installing the brakes and all on the airplane and there isn't acceptable clearance between the caliper and the rubber of the tire. Mine is currently 1/16"
I know folks have run these tires before...did the brake disc have to be shimmed away from the wheel to provide clearance here?
any chance someone running the stock tires can measure the clearance between the rubber and the caliper as a data point?
Thanks!
