RE: Europa-List: mono brake puck

[James <james@kingdom.ie>]

Jerry,

When contacting Kart Components for the Brake Caliper Seals, what would 
you ask for? E.g. does the Europa Brake Caliper have a specific make & 
model name?


Thanks

James

Fred, try kartcomponents.com

Years ago I got replacement o-rings from them , I think they were a 
supplier to Europa at that time. An inquiry might be worth a try.

I ordered an extra set too, but I just did a search, can=99t find, 
sorry.

Fred,

I've had good luck simply buffing out the pucks and the caliper.  It's 
just aluminum, and rarely does the puck get damaged. It does get a bit 
rough from corrosion.  A freshly smoothed caliper and puck with a new O 
ring seems to work well.  I use a cotton wheel on a Dremel type tool and 
some red jewelers rouge after a sanding with 1000 grit paper to shine it 
up.  O rings are tough to find.  Especially the square edged ones.  I'm 
no help there.


I have no spare calipers as I have a Europa mono in the shop with some 
serious gear/brake issues and may have to rebuild everything!  I find it 
odd that the gear and brakes passed inspection for the last two annuals 
in this condition.


I'm afraid if your disk and caliper are in bad shape the cost of 
replacements is getting harder.  Consider the Berringer Brake unit as a 
long term solution.  I'm just too old to worry about long term, so I 
spend the time and buff and clean.


Best Regards,

Bud Yerly

I=99m hoping to source a mono brake puck here in the US, perhaps 
---From someone who=99s converted to trigger.


Please let me know if anyone might have one for sale,
