Re: (ET) Brake parts question?

["RJ Kanary" <rjkanary nauticom net>]

     It is the same diameter as the puck, is made of Unobtainium and is 
about .025" thick. I say that it is made of Unobtainium because the last 
time I ordered brake parts from Bill Gunn, he mentioned that he could no 
longer find them.
      So, those of you that still have cast caliper brakes, keep a real 
close eye on pad wear. Once that washer is gone, it's GONE ! :(
