Welcom Ron.  Glad you're with us.  I still haven't identified my
wheel/brakes yet.  Talked to an oldtimer Piper guru who says they didn't
come off a Piper and aren't Cleveland or Scott.  Said maybe Bodel which were
put on some of the early homebuilts.  They're not the Goodrich tube/expando
units as they're typical "shoe" type of brakes.  What was suggested is that
I obtain some flexible brake lining material and make my own liners.  I
ordered some from Carquest today and will give a report on how it goes.
I asked a few days ago if it's normal for the wing fabric to wrinkle
slightly outboard of the strut attach points, but got no answer.  Is this
normal?  My server has been acting up so perhaps it never went anywhere.
