Body Damage is Cool
I think I remember once reading that this caliper is from an agricultural application. Someone might try to take the caliper or a picture of it to their local farm machinery dealer/repair shop. Farmers are the classic do-it-yourselfers and tightwads, I can't picture them buying a new caliper if pads were available. -- Matt

In theory they shouldn't wear out, but in practice, unless they are adjusted perfectly, they can rub and wear down.
They wear real fast if you forget to release it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

If they are working right, you won't go anywhere if you forget to release, so shouldn't matter.

E brakes don't experience friction, unless they are used to stop a moving vehicle. Normally they are used to keep a stationary vehicle from moving when it's not supposed to. No friction, no wear, I don't care how they are adjusted, unless they still let the vehicle move at maximum application....

If you read the link I posted you'll see that the application is an 8000lb tractor used to push jets out onto the tarmac.


I'd think that if Allpro or Sky could get a hold of the pads separately, they'd be happy to sell them... that's what they do.
