.5racer 14 #1 Posted August 15, 2008 I just bought a split brake system for my D-160 and the brakes are all the way to the metal ! Doing some resurch and figureing came up with a plan to machine new ones out of auto pads from a auto set . Would this be something others would need allso and if so how many and at what price could I charge .The brand would be Wearever , Silver semi-metallic asbestos- free type . Roughly 30 thou mile type , enough for the next 25-30 years I would guess. My next question would be how would you market such a thing if there is a demand ? AMERICAN MACHINED PARTS !!!! WOOO HOOO !!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_M 178 #2 Posted August 15, 2008 Terry, I'm sure you could sell some. You could list them in the classifieds here on this site and also on eBay. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BairleaFarm 339 #3 Posted August 15, 2008 If you can make them and sell them for less than what can be paid at the dealer then they will sell. Once you get some in the working enviroment and people find out how good they are new will spread and you can either charge more or continue to sell them for your current price.

ol550 830 #5 Posted August 15, 2008 Parts Tree shows then at 60.27 each. I believe they could be fabricated but the finished thickness may be a possible but cureable problem. B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
