The pucks on Goodyear are the same length... Interesting, the Manual says .460; however, I measure the goodyear puck, Part # 95-11276, as .490 inches..
Wear limit is .323 inches. If the pucks are worn un-even, that shows that the disc is not moving in the wheel...as it should be centering, as the brake system has only one piston. Pressure on the brakes should push out the puck against the disc, and against the other puck...supposedly wearing evenly. In practice, the piston side puck generally wears more, I think. One way to get more usage of the pucks is to switch them occassionally. Here are some questions I sent to Unvair...answer was --~all we do is sell them.... Subj: Goodyear brakes ? Date: 08/13/1999 7:37:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi group, I have a couple of questions concerning the Goodyear brakes on Ercoupes. I know the parts are expensive and difficult to find, but I would like to keep mine original, if possible. In reviewing Goodyear brake pucks, I find there are some apparrent discrepencies in the literature. The Ercoupe Service manual, page 37, calls for a new puck to be .460 inches in length. (I have penciled in part # Goodyear 95-11276 - as these were the part #'s listed in literature, and the part # on pucks I purchased years ago.) The replacement pucks listed by Skyport (Pts Cat Pg 20)and Univair (Pts Cat Page 255) are part # 95-11276, which I have several new ones on hand. I measured them at .490 inches; not .460 inches as called for in the Ercoupe Service Manual. I also have a couple of pucks # 95-11261 ( fits a Cessna 140 +, (according to Univair Parts Manual - page 255).... these measure .460 inches! ( as called for in the Ercoupe Service Manual for Ercoupe 415 ----page 37) Now the question is--- which is the correct part number *???? and if the longer puck (11276) is correct, when was it re-specified - or was it specified - to repalce the shorter one (11261) ?? I wonder if the numbers presented are correct or a mistake....Also are the listed prices correct? Also, the brake clips --anti-rattle clips - are priced at 85.00+ or so ! How could this be ? Earlier clips ( 95-20403 is $3.03, ea; #95-11103 is $ 8.49 ea.,) are listed at $8.50 or so...... is this pricing a mistake? (Univair price list -price code 680, page 55, May, 95 list) It seem a shame for the pricing to be so out of line, that many Ercoupe owners are converting to Cleveland brakes at about $1000 parts & labor....and abandoning the Goodyear system. If Goodyear no longer supplies parts, then maybe this is the only option.; but what a shame that someone doesn't make the pucks and clips at a reasonable cost. Appreciate your thoughts and comments......and maybe solutions that make better sense... Harry L. Francis 2851 Sarver Road Elliston, Va. 24087 540-268-2307 Hope this helps...
