Little guide for the rookies like me, I found on the top part there are 2 indentations that if aligned will make match the bolt holes.
One more thing, do not direct press the assembly under any circumstances. The inner shaft when fully compressed to match the holes will stick a little bit out of the piston, further pressing will damage the shaft. I had to fabricate an adapter with a lathe to compress the piston ring, and let the inner shaft to stick out. Failure to do so will bend the inner shaft I'm saying this cos that's what happened to me. Luckily it was just a minimum bend and I was able to straight it up.

mauleairinc does not have a controlable cowl egress door, however there are individuals in Canada and US who have come up with good ones in the past.
Apart from the frigid zones, proper insulation of the cabin as has been addressed in past on here, and correctly operating heat muffs, hoses, and firewall valves will keep a Maule cabin plenty warm. Good baffling and cooling air egress and ingress, and on O360 Lycs baffling of oil cooler will control engine temps quite well.

I have all the drawings, and just missing this top center cowling.
On the part manual distances and angles are not depicted, and since I will be frabicating my self, a drawing to see the interaction with the fiberglass glareshield would be of great help.
ah and the brakes, I know it's already been covered.. front or rear installation?

I would suggest putting them on the front, the rear tire will not be effective for braking.freedom wrote:

Most of the "big tire" crowd mounts the calipers on the front of the axle.
I can't remember if I fired six shots, or only five.....
