PPC NOSEWHEEL BRAKE KITS
Shown here are some examples of my basic nosewheel brake
kits that have been installed by cutomers on their own machines. Pricing: basic brake kits for BUCKEYE, DESTINY, SIXCHUTER (with 3.00X8 tire), GOLDEN EAGLE, & POWRACHUTE (with 1" handgrip) are $175.00. For Powrachutes with a large handgrip, a replacment 1" handgrip is available for $20.00.

I also have an after market brake for the Viking II if fitted with their newest fork. These are $290.00. and include a new 4"X6" wheel, tire and tube to match the brake drum as the stock Viking II unit will not work.

The kit for the Six Chuter with Six Chuter provided 6" "Tundra" tire is $215.00. I have no pictures of these either. Most of the brake kits look alike and the differences are minor as needed to fit the particular configuration.

The basic kit requires that precast holes be drilled out in one half of the wheel casting to mount the drum with the special screws provided in the kit. A brand new wheel tire and tube with holes drilled and drum installed is available for $70.00

Shipping on the basic brake kits is about $10 to most places. The deluxe and special kits are more due to added weight of wheel and tire.

Sixeye Fork A replacement front fork for Sixchuters. The Sixeye is made of heavier gage materials than stock with a sturdy beam section at the fork pivot area for rigidity as well as to prevent weld cracking and fork bending. This basic beam type design is used successfully on several other makes of PPC as well as on motorscooters and motorcycles. The Sixeye fork legs are 1/8" wall round steel tube instead of 1/16" wall square tube for better rigidity in all directions. There is also some added vertical clearance to allow for larger front tires if desired. The Sixeye is shown on the right with a stock fork shown on the left for comparison. The Sixeye is much sturdier than the stock fork and will stand up to the punishment often seen in student training operations or rough fields. The Sixeye weighs 4 lbs 4 oz compared to the 2 lb 2 oz stock fork. Price $115 plus shipping. Custom made forks can also be provided for any model PPC. Call or write for quotes

A 10" polished, chrome plated, steel wheel with a 4 ply, DOT rated tire and tube. This is a sturdy wheel and tire assembly with a tire that is rated for highway use. The large diameter high pressure tire gives a low rolling resistance and the tire design gives excellent steering control. This is a minibike wheel and tire. The wheel has precision ball bearings for long life. Due to an extra wide spindle area, this wheel and tire is only suitable for use on front wheels of most PPCs. Special spacers are provided with the wheel. For Buckeyes, Destinys and Sixchuters with a Sixeye fork a 250/275 tire is provided. For Powrachutes a 410/350 tire is provided. For other model PPCs or rear axle applications, custom measurement will be required.

Stainless Steel Button Head Manifold Screws
Tired of the gooey mess that the oil seepage from your Rotax manifold leaves on the side of your engine? It doesn't hurt performance, but it sure looks bad. Here is part of the solution. Put screws in all 8 manifold hole locations for more even clamping pressure on the manifold gasket. The low head on these button head screws fits into the 2 "inaccessible" locations on the Rotax manifold allowing for a full compliment of 8 manifold screws. A complete set of 8 button heads makes the installation look neater although the minimum number of button heads needed is 2 for the "inaccessible" locations with stock screws at the other 6 locations.

Installation of these special screws requires that the manifold be removed to work the screws into the "inaccessible" location, so in addition to the screws you need to replace the gaskets. You also might want to "dress off" the surface of the manifold to make sure it is flat and true. Shipping is $3.20 for any quantity up to 2 lbs (approx 30/lb).

Order Quantity Stainless Steel Manifold Screws $2.00 ea or 8 for $11.80
