Hi
Does anyone know if there is a source for brake pads for the dunstall twin disc? They are dinky! 35mm only in diameter with a lug to stop rotation.
Cheers

Brake pads
I did in fact make my own from regular commando pads. They are easy to do IF you have ALL the correct dimensions. So may be $12 and an hours work or pay some guy in new mexico over $150 to do it for you. Adding the little wire is not difficult if you are engineering minded.
It is NOT a beginners job!
No asbestos in mine and I would not do any abrasive grinding anyway, it is not needed.

What you must not do is find some pads that are slightly larger and cut them down to size. Using the old pads as a template and an angle grinder to shape the metal and a chisel or dremel to shape the braking material. You are not going to do this now are you, so you wont have to wear a dust mask either to protect from pad dust.
