Chief brakes- discs and pucks

Post by horsefarmfox »

Does anyone have a source and/or ideas for Goodyear discs and pucks for a ‘46 Chief?

Thanks in advance

classic aero used to have one side.

seems I have heard of people making the hammer side and using the hammer side on the anvil side after they wore down. The accounts I heard involved using automotive brake padsafter cutting, trimming etc.

3/8" thick on the hammer, 1/4" on the anvil (if I recall)

and of course, the clips....... https://www.ebay.com/itm/264377972692?h ... SwNC5dE9uY (these fit my 46 chief with goodyear - your mileage may vary).

There is a "trick" to getting the clips out without breaking them...
