Hey guys, I am new to this group and hope someone can point an easy solution for my KR2 landing gear break fixes?
I bought a KR2 project and now nearly 99% completed and ready to test fly except the issue of landing gear cable break on the right side: It is called the "cable end" used for adjustment of break tightness on the two front landing wheels (one on each side attached on the wheel plates with cable going through it). This is old style mechanical cable-activated break system for my KR2, and the "cable end" (looks like a 1/4 inch diameter and 2 inch long screw with hole going through it) which broke into two pieces and needs to be replaced! I have called many places but find nowhere has this kind of "cable end" break part for sale? I will truly appreciate if someone in this group may have a spare part like this or please kindly advice or pointing in the right place for me to buy one? Many thanks in advance!
