Brake question

2009 RV10, brakes were likely stock ( I talked to the builder). Mobile mechanic asking to know what model number the brakes are. I can't go look at the plane as it is a long ways away AOG. I can read that the brake pads replaced are part number 66-11200 so my assumption is the brakes are Cleveland. I am told to speak to Vans and find out the model number.

Is there a way of knowing this apart from getting through to someone at Vans on what might be a busy day for them after the holiday?

According to this thread, this thread and this thread, it appears your assumption is correct.

Additional info here and here.

It appears to be.

Some of info in the above links indicate the brake assembly is 30-59A and some 30-59E.

This catalog indicates 30-59A.

I'm not sure what the difference is. According to the parts diagram, it appears to be the piston. One is listed as a "piston" and one a "piston assembly."

The ACS 30-59A page has both part numbers listed (092-04000 and 062-03900).
