REFLECTOR: CLEVELAND BRAKES

[Tom Martino]

As it turns out I got the info I needed.  I needed to drill some new
holes in the torque plate to rotate the brakes.  Now they fit fine.

I also went with the toe brakes!

I put them on my XL 6 months ago and everything has been perfect. Solved
all of my short field problems as well as making steering easier. Also
added the heel/toe pedals which make a big difference in cross wind
landings. I strongly recommend the clevelands and the heel/toe brake
modification. I had 400 hours with the old system and now have 70 hours
with the new.
