DIY brake pad relinning
« on: October 26, 2018, 02:39:57 PM »
Found a place that sells rolls of brake / clutch lining material. Ordered a 6’ roll of 1” wide by 3/16 thick was $22 going to try re line my brake pads. Found a guy on a arctic cat forum that did the same thing and has ahad great luck so far. Will be binding the material with JB weld and let cure in a vice for 24-48 hr. The site to get the material from is http://www.mcmaster.com/

Will continue updating as I go once the material arives. I figure what the hell 26$ to try this or 240$ for new pads up here in Canada. For how terrible the Cfmoto pads are ide be happy if the diy ones last 200km for the price difference. The factory ones only made it 320km I believe it was.

https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/124/3639 This is the site I got the brake lining from. Is the high strength semi metallic lining. 3/16 thick and 1” wide. I JB welded it to the stock metal after cleaning wel with a wire wheel and let cure in a vice very tight. Then I used my belt sander to clean it up and shape the pad accordingly. Was very easy and works very well! Quite impressed so far. Quiet and great clamping force. On the rear pads there was a bit of material left still so I took a Gamble and used the belt sander to “true” the pad and JB welded the new pad over top and they also fit very well thankfully lol.
