Abstract
An aircraft landing gear includes an axle on which wheel and brake assemblies are mounted. An adaptor member is mounted on the axle and arranged to define a brake rod connection point that is distinct from a conventional brake rod connection point defined by the brake assembly. The adaptor member is coupled to the brake assembly via an adaptor linkage that is arranged to react brake torque but arranged to permit relative movement between the adaptor member and the brake assembly in degrees of freedom which are not required to react brake torque.
