Is the new Brake wedge for a T2X or the Ham 4 series....????
I called CATS and they said that the new wedge would do nothing for the
T2X...Only the Ham 4 series.....Thought CATS said the brake in the T2X was
OK...
Did I miss something or is there REALLY a replacement brake for the T2X???
I have 3 T2X's in the air now and EVERYONE of the T2X's need to be rocked
to get them to move....
Thanks! Rich N7TR Reno
