Brake help on 1970 Avion Ultra - 26'

Post by zoomjay »

I am in the process of buying a 1970 Avion Ultra. Current owner indicates that it sat for a while and that the brakes were dragging and then were disconnected. Since it is a ways away (it is in Kentucky - I am not!) I plan to have a new set of brakes installed before I pick it up. Now... for the size..

From a previous post... I believe that it needs 10" brakes. Can anybody tell me if they are 2" or 2.25" shoes? If someone has a part number or a link to a set of four that we know will work - even better! I am looking for a set which will automatically adjust.

Thank you.

Howdy,

I just put a set of these on my ‘78 28M:

Although I found them cheaper from my local dealer.

It was a pretty straight forward swap, naturally you’ll repack your bearings and it’s also a good time to clean up your drums/hubs or replace if necessary.
