donthese four wheelers that you see running around arethe right size. I priced new ones yesterday.$104 forthe caliper and $34 for the disc. I'm heading for alarge motorcycle salvage yard to see if they have someused ones. the wheels and rims are 8 inch so might beusable too.if you see how they jump those fourwheelers, they should be strong enough. I might castmy own aluminum wheels though. still researching it.--- DonanClara(at)aol.com wrote:> Does anyone know of a small inexpensive( ha ha )> brake caliper for a disc > brake ?

Don,It always seems that when you need something, it's not around. I had putout the word with the neighbors of what I needed. For months nothing, thenon Sunday ,last, my neighbor Nathan, comes to the door and says " I got yourbrakes". He had been down Englishtown NJ. which is a big flea market,and he had the whole front of a motorcycle removed at the steering post. Igot 2 calipers , 2 discs ( I'll have to make smaller) and one master cyl.for $8.oo.Thats the fun of building a plane, so many things going, you can just shifttill the other parts surface.walt-----Original Message-----

Thanks Walt, we do have to shift a lot so I guess I can add the brakes to the list. Actually, if something surfaces it should be a piece 'o cake to make the change. The disc can mount onto the same plate that now holds the drum, and I haven't yet started covering.Don H.________________________________________________________________________________
