Re: X-Air Ultralight Aircraft X-Air standard Brake Shoes

Well further to my request and a couple of false starts, finally found some brake shoes that fit. ?Turns out the shoes are similar to those fitted to certain vintage Vespa mopeds, the shoes themselves are marked as 125mm x 17mm. ?Pattern parts are available in the UK and are cheaper than what I was quoted to get the shoes relined. ? Interestingly the brake shoes I received from the UK X-Air distributor were much smaller, so wonder if my X-Air has a much larger brake drum. ?
Thanks for all the advice given, it was much appreciated.

Does anyone know of a source of brake shoes in the UK or further afield for X-Air brake shoes? ?I dismantled my left hand brake assembly today to find what was left of the friction material lying in the hub.
