This question is for those builders who are experienced with various braking systems.
We're building a 6A and ended up with new calipers that have a single piston that's approx 20% larger than the standard caliper piston used on Van's airplanes. These calipers are Cleveland model number 30-75X.
If we use the standard flange (see attached pic, flange to the rite), these calipers will work after some minor trimming of the pad. The goal is to enhance the braking via the oversize piston.
The question is, has anyone used 30-75X calipers and what was the result?
