Brake Question

Post by TomC »

Hi All,

I am doing my annual condition inspection of my 7A and have a couple of brake questions.

1. Does anyone know the Cleveland part number of the brake pads? I don't know if mine are worn too much yet but would like to have some pads ready. Vans has a "BRAKE PAD KIT 5:00X5" but would like to add something to an ACS order that I have to make instead of starting a separate order with Vans.

2. Which brake pad tool are others using to remove and re-set the pad rivets?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Avery sells a set of pads and rivets:

They also sell a rivet die to set the brake rivets:

Brake Info

Post by TomC »

For future info, I'll do what my mother told me not to. I'll answer my own question. For one/two seat RV's, the Cleveland part number is 66-106. The Rapco part number is RA66-106. There is a Rapco kit that contains 4 calipers and the required rivets RA66-106-4k. There is a Rapco brake rivet tool that looks like a C-clamp RA825. ACS sells all these parts.

Hope this helps someone in the future.
