ding_dong Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I dont know if this is old news but from www.rimjam.com empty powerpad packings are available for 20p each, also you can pay buy paypal and it says that it will consider doing lots of them for businesses!!(i think)well I hope I have helped some people and I hope its not old news.

Ben Geary Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I seen it about a week ago, good idea i think for them who want to make there own pads and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 20p each including first class postage.Isnt a first class stamp 27p so if you order 1 hes loosing -7p before you go into envelope etc.Even if you order just one pair thats 40p - 27p = 13p before you even think about envelope and effort. Seams like a bargain to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ding_dong Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Sorry if its old, I just thought that peple, like my self, that have never looked at the site or looked at if for a long time may be interseted, i know i will be buying some!and to add to dannys point, you can buy them via paypal so you have to pay a slight % to paypal so hes losing out on even more pennies!

am4zin Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 How do you go about making your own brake pads, as in what do you roughly need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Typical, i've got backing's galore, but no material to put in them, im looking for a big block to make a good few pairs of pads ideally, but the search goes on.....

Walleee Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 How do you go about making your own brake pads, as in what do you roughly need?If your talking about the pad compound then you havn't a hope of producing that yourself. I like to give it a try if I knew how and had the resources.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I still must try my idea, do you know loading bays have rubber on the walls for when the trucks back into them, and on the back of some trucks too, i need to test that, i reckon it may be ok for pads especially in wet conditions, we'll see as soon as i'm at a loading bay with a hacksaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashZen Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I am amazed at the sudden "make your own pads" frenzy. Looks like we're gonna see plenty of rubbery chunks taken out of public spaces I wouldn't want to take a risk with my brakes, trying out all compounds from soft chewing gum to hard lift-truck bumpers... I reckon it is probably best to actually cure some proper polymer mix (though I wouldn't know where to get this).20p isn't cheap if you're gonna slam yourself on the back too often... Anyway, curious about what you guys will come up with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Paul oliver used a rubber what you use under a bash plate, he said it was ok.im experimenting with more im gonna go back to a grind and front disc (cos theres too much shit on my farm for the ceramics to keep working well ) so hopefully i shall find soemthing the majority will be able to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Hehe, i can see a competition coming along Best home-made brake pad, post pics to me, winner wins a set of the new Rimjam's to test and free powerpad backings so they can make more of the winning pad. Pads will be judged on looks, craftmanship, and source of material used. Performance will be hard to judge from a pic. What you think?
