High Energy Brake Calipers for a Super ES

[JamesMunafo]

Hi Group,

I thought I had a lead on a new set of high energy Cleveland Wheels and Brake set, listed in their catalog for the IV under part number 199-224, which I understand could be installed on my ES. I contacted the new owners, (Aircraft Wheel & Brake by Kaman), but they have not manufactured them for over 3 yrs. so I was told it would take another year to have them made and cost lots of $$$.

Now I understand that I can get a set of HE calipers originally used on the IV which will greatly improve my braking and maybe not have to replace everything else. George Wehrung has a great post titled “Replacing Brake Pads or Inspecting Pads on High Energy Calipers” where he explains in writing and pictures the process, and states that it make a big positive difference in his braking ability. This is what I want for my ES. The problem is I cannot seem to source a set (new or even an old pair that could be repurposed) of HE calipers. Are there other options that I should consider, or does anyone know of a pair of the HE calipers available?

Thanks for any suggestions.

James,

TY,
