Speaking of which, I keep seeing Goodyear brake pucks for much (much
much much) less than that on the "overstock" webpage of Aircraft Spruce.
Thought you might like to know if you didn't already.

Yes, thanks...these are the old Barry Jay inventory, which ACS got when they
bought the other company out. I had emailed ACS about it...whether it was from
my email or not, they did put the old stuff on the web page at the same price
Barry Jay had been selling it for. I bought four complete sets about eight
months ago. They're not "approved" parts, but neither were my homemade sets
(made with brake-pad stock and a router).

Installed a set just two weeks ago. Flip out the old outer pad (held with RTV),
slip out the thicker, inner pad (no attachment necessary), and reverse the
process with the new pads. Took less than five minutes per side (other than
jacking the plane up and removing the wheel, of course) and didn't use any tools
other than my pocket knife.
