Hydraulic brakes for 1946 Aeronca Champ 7A

Post by rohrlick »

Does anyone have information on converting a Champ 7A brake system from mechanical to hydraulic. :?: Further, does anyone know of or have information if a hydraulic brake conversion could also include changing from heel brakes to toe brakes :?:

Hello Mike,
sorry I don't have info on the mechanics of the installation,
but yes, either or both can be done.
(I'm not certain if you can convert mechanical heel to mechanical toe)

costs are... (prices are up +/- $400. from a year ago)

Mar. '08 catalog
Cleveland mechanical heel to hydraulic heel (wag, #4-1557k) $3180.
Toe brake kit, Cleveland wheels & brakes included (wag, #4-1624ac) $3560.
