Installing ABI-RV-10 brakes on the RV-10

[jeffreyuh60]

All,

I am attempting to install the ABI-RV-10 (Alaskan Bushwheel) brakes on my RV-10 new build. These brakes came in the kit to be used with the Grove 6.00 x 6 wheels.
I am finding that the wheel pants bracket and the brake housing interfere with each other.
I fabricated the wheel pants bracket spacers according to the plans and am using the provided wheel axle spacer. Additionally, the bracket covers the brake pad screws, making it impossible to mount the outboard brake pads.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Thank you.

From Vans Aircraft on March 31st, a bracket will be produced in the near future. Please check back in a month to find out how this is progressing.

Is this the „new“ brake solution when ordering the stock grove brakes from Vans? Just to understand, as my Kits will also be arriving soon.

I believe so. I wasn’t aware Alaska Bushwheel brakes were an option. I thought I ordered Grove brakes
