Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

DR. CHEAP is in the forum

Ok here is my go around at doing a reline on a brake pad for my 654 it should go the same way for most models.
the belting is sold by the foot for $4.70 with shipping it was right at $8 and made it to my door in 2 days from order date.
To start with my brake pad lining came from Mc Master-Carr it is nice flexible material looks like it should work well.
below are links and part numbers copy and paste to find
www.mcmaster.com/# part # 6175k813 3/16" thick x 1 1/2' wide sold by the foot, metal free brake and clutch lining strips
i used a 2 part epoxy 5 minute setting type many brands of this are on the market
the width of the lining was correct, it cut to length very easy with a hack saw.
i used the brake drum to clamp it around to hold it in place as the glue set.
i will let you all know how it holds up in a day or so. but my first look at says it will do fine.
