Hunter brakes
 

Can anybody help me with information on the hunter's brake pads and discs with diagrams/ photos if possible?

I have none of the info you asked for, however, I did work in the Tyre Bay, and used to replace the Hunter Brake pads, held in place by rivets. A very easy task.

Asbestos warning labels all over the packaging though, but maybe there is a new, safer material.

Try asking here, some of the Bruntingthorpe guys may be able to help out.

Hi Toller
There are some Hunter A.P's on this website - not sure if much info on the brakes as you might need to find a copy of the component A.P. for a detailed diagram/picture.

From memory Hunter Brakes were similar to the later Canberras - Chrome plated solid Copper multi Ring type with Maxaret anti skid units.Every so many landings we had to adjust the brakes by removing the locking clips - winding the brake pistons in until touching the discs and then winding them back out (4 Flats ?) to give operating clearance and then refitting the locking clips.

HHA Ltd. at Leeming will have the knowledge. Contact them here and hopefully they are willing to assist
