anyone know where to get a set of brake pucks for our DC-3 ?

Do you know the inside diameter of the brake drum on the DC-3? We recently ran across some brake pucks that are of a slightly smaller diameter than used on the B-17 and B-24. How many make up a set for the DC-3?

B-17's and -24's have expander tube brakes, no pucks. DC-3s have disc brakes.

The DC-3 also used expander tubes, however most owners now use the brake pucks because there is less brake fade on hard braking. I will check on the size of them. Thanks, Spookyboss
