Looking for brake pads for the G-102

Does anyone out there know where one can find them? The US distributor says
they are no longer available. Are they available somewhere in Europe, Germany
perhaps ?

Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks

you might try taking the old shoes (or pads) to a local automotive
brake/clutch
relining shop, they should be able to reline them for probably a lot
less than
you can buy new ones (if they're even available). they should also
have materials choices for higher friction (probably go for as little
metallic content as possible). these wear faster, but for use in a
glider vs. auto the difference in service life would be negligible.

If you google RAS, JJ and others use a vintage brake shop in Placerville,=
Ca for this sort of stuff IIRC.
