The decals are nearly unreadable but one looks like Cleveland 30-9.
My o ring needs replacing as well as the brake pads. Ordered from Vans but not sure it is correct size.

Anyone else have this old a set of calipers been thru this?

Brake O rings

The pair I ordered from Vans fit perfect and so will the 4 I ordered from Spruce as well. If you have been flying any length of time, when you order anywhere you might order some to consider changing them preemptively. My R brake went in just a few flights to having enough to turn R off the runway, and then was flat.

The same goes for the brake shoe kit. It is just a matter of time. I had 330 hours.
