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.


Same problem here. Another supplier claimed that Tost = Cleveland. I'll
soon see if the Cleveland 66-106 pad for 500 x 5 wheels is what's needed or
not.


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.
