• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I just got some used Matco 6.00X6 wheels and brakes from a buddy of mine.They need rebuilding.I have a couple questions.The bearings are in good shape except for the plastic backing on them are chewed up.Do I need to replace the bearings?
Where is a good palce to get some bearings?Do they need to be aircraft quality?
Also does the back bearing have a seal like a regular wheel bearing.And is there a washer between the front bearing and nut.
