Looking for Hydraulic Brake Bladder Manufacturer
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2014 11:42 am
Hi,
We have numberous aircraft that use hydraulic or pneumatic brake bladders -- Spitfire, Hurri, Cornell, Fairchild 24, Lysander etc.
It is very difficult to get replacements, and they can be very expensive -- up to $2500, for what is basically an inner-tube.
That just doesn't seem right. People have been using inner tubes for a long time.
Does anyone know of a place to have these made? Ideally I would like to send them specs, and have the tubes show up in reasonable time, at a reasonable price, of good quality.
