Main wheels for 1800 Floats

Post by JSK » Thu Mar 19, 2026 6:41 pm

Hello
I have an 1800 amphib float kit that I received in Oct. 2025. Several items are missing from the kit “on back order”. One of the missing line items are the JDM main wheels, brakes, and bearings. Does anyone know if there are other wheels that can be fit to these floats?

Grove Aircraft Landing Gear Systems, INC. has a nice setup of waterproof rims with double puck calipers. I bought the double puck calipers(part #32-1A),to retrofit to the Cleveland? rims on mine, because the brakes sucked. In 2015 I paid $518.00 US for the 2 calipers alone. In hindsite I wish I'd bought waterproof rims and all as a unit, because the bleeders are too close to the ground.
