M20F-1968 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 Are there any preferences regarding Cleveland Brake rotors: 164-02000 Standard steel rotor (for E,F,J) 164-12000 Stainless steel rotor (for E,F,J) I need to change rotors at next annual, and bought 1 164-12000 stainless rotor on e-bay for $80 ($256 usually SkyGeek) I plan on purchased the second rotor by usual means. Any reason not to use the stainless rotors? John Breda Quote
carusoam Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 Frictional characteristics might be different, as the heat transfer with SS is a bit lower than other steels.... Since few of us use maximum braking, we will probably not experience the difference... The stainless will look better longer while doing pre-flight activities... Passengers aren’t going to see rusty plane parts like they would getting in a Brand C.... PP thoughts only, not a mechanic... Best regards, -a- Quote
