S-2 Tracker brakes

Wed Apr 09, 2008 2:45 pm

I am looking for parts and information pertaining to the S-2 brake system. I need to know if there is any brake pad material up grades if so what is it and where can I get them? I am rebuilding 4-6 brake packs.
Thank you for your help.

OK, I jave good news and bad news. YES. there is a upgrade, The Calif. Division of forestry uses them on their s-2 tankers, BUT. because they use them, supplier now charges $10,000.00 PER side. very expensive because they know the govt will pay top dollar for the upgrades for the air tankers. He said if your still interested he can look up part # and supplier info. Let me know. wish it was better news though.
