Where to buy brake pads?
Can anybody tell me where I can buy disc brake pads for a permit aircraft with what I think are 150 Cessna brakes? As the aircraft is on a permit the brakes don't need the CAA certification.
Cheers

Your local brake/clutch relining place. Search on Google
Take them your knackered pads there, get new wearable surfaces bonded on (and/or riveted, as appropriate).
Example: "Bonding & Reline Ltd", Thurmaston, Leicester
Excellent for all Permit aircraft brake (and clutch!) relining requirements

Sensible - LAS is where I normally go but you'll need access to a rivetter. LAS sell an economical little one (there are two types, a screw in jobby and the hit it with a hammer jobby).
Not sure where you are but I have one!

Thanks stick but The pads that I have are sort of kidney shaped and they don't have any metal backing. I think that they are Cessna 150 brakes but never having stripped a cessna down I can't say for sure.

The brake assembly is marked Good Year Part No 9541458 TSO-C26 Assy 9532181. The actual pads are eleipical/kidney shaped and measure about 50mm x 23mm. There is no metal backing on the existing disc and in fact one of the pads seems to be stuck/wedged into a recess on a fixed part of the assembly wheras the other fits in a recess but rammed forward by the hydraulic piston. Odly, the disc is like a toothed cog and is loose within a splined wheel so one brake pad and the disc are free moving against the other fixed pad.
