I can confirm these "Kid Kart" go-kart brake pads are the real deal,
even down the small gold flakes in the braking pad material. Drop-in
replacements!

The inboard pad may be fine if the caliper wasn't floating, like mine,
leaving the inboard almost brand new looking.
There are quite a few distributers of these little gems in the UK but I
was able to find these US based companies that had them.
This rear brake story gets even better. Open eBay and run a search for
'MANCO 3759" and someone please tell me why that brake caliper/pads
isn't a direct bolt-in replacement for our older caliper? For $30 I
bought one, will let everyone know when it arrives but I'm 99% sure
that is a replacement caliper with easily purchased cheap brake pads.
My old caliper and now new brake pads are almost fully cleaned/restored
and ready for re-assembly so I'm not sure if I'll be able to try this
new caliper out, but for anyone else out there wanting mechanical
brakes again, cheap, THIS might be a cool option! My original caliper
has casting marks where that pin is located on the Manco 3759 unit,
shown attached here. That pin could easily be removed if it hinders
placement in the tractor.

I posted the following, with photos, up on Facebook and thought some of
you here might be interested as well. Not sure if I'm only person that
is still interested in these older brake pads.

My E12 has the older "puck" style of brake pads and I was not liking
what I found when I removed them, they are cracked and broken. I
thought, no problem, just order another set and we'll be fine. Yeah, I
learned that the puck brake pads are not available and it sounds like
they haven't been for a while. I am not in the position to buy the $200
upgrade kit, which I understand is better, it just isn't feasible right
now.
One evening a few weeks back I set out to find a suitable replacement,
and it turns out I believe I have found the impossible. The package
finally arrived today, and in the pictures you will see two pucks, with
the one sporting a black metal backing plate is the new one. Same size
if you remove that thin metal plate from the old puck, and it fits into
the caliper great. They are not cheap but dang it, they look like the
same material with that gold flake in it even.
Anybody interested in the details?
Hint: late 60s, European, Go-Carting
