laheyth Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I am restoring a 1913 overland and the parking brake pads look to be 2-1/4 wide and the inner pads are 2 inch wide. I can buy woven with metallic thread strips from McMaster-Carr for about $8 /ft, and I found a guy on this forum that has NOS similar material.Any recommendations re: new vs old?I can also buy the copper rivets to install them from MCThe other question is the thickness, the old ones were so grease soaked and messed up, I could not tell if they are 3/16 or 1/4 thick, ...anybody tell me?

Larry Schramm Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Does the NOS have asbestos? Might take a pass and use the new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
