Hello = Jeff

I=20 certainly do remember our conversation. The brake that you have is = a
30-233.=20 The 164-02504 is the brake disc part number. The 199--224A is = a
conversion=20 kit (bill of material shown below) that upgraded the caliper
from an = organic=20 to a metallic lining. The torque plate would be mounted
with the same = with=20 either lining configuration. A simple check to
determine if the = torque plate=20 is orientated correctly is to sight or lay a
straight edge on the = outer=20 surface of the brake disc. The torque plate
anchor bushings should be = approximately flush to +/- .050 above or below
that surface. This can = be=20 accomplished using the proper length inboard
bearing stop and torque = plate=20 oreintation. As you can see in the sketch
below, if the torque plate = were to=20 move to the right relative to the brake
disc then eventually the = torque plate=20 could come into contact with the
pressure plate thereby limiting the = clamping=20 pressure on the brake disc as
the pressure plate lining wears. If = torque=20 plate is located too far to
the left then you may not have enough = anchor bolt=20 to torque plate bushing
engagement and will compromise the torque = take out=20 ability. See sketch
below. If you have any questions, you should talk = to Kit=20 Components and
have them send you installation information for your=20 aircraft.

The 40-406/30-233 has a KE rating for = each wheel=20 and brake of 425,000
ft-lbs at 80.76 mph and an IE of 1965 lbs. = Unless=20 otherwise specified by
the aircraft manufacturer,typically the = simplified=20 mininum KE requirements
for a type certificated aircraft is defined = by FAR=20 part 23.735. Please
see the information below. It has been copied = from our=20 50-76 drawing that
is widely used by the experimental aircraft = homebuilders=20 to select
products.

Here is a copy of the parts that were furnished = to=20 upgrade, the 40-96E &
30-61E (organic lining) to the 40-406 & = 30-233=20 (Metallic Lining) wheel and
