As you know if you've read my write-ups, I've been

bugging Rapco for 4 or 5 years to start making the

66-112 brake linings for us so we have an alternate

price and supply.  The Cleveland ones go in and out

of stock too often and the price is top dollar.

I got a set of the new Rapco linings and replaced

my discs at the same time since I scored one of

them on the first brake pad run....running the rivets

into the discs.



So here's a write-up with pictures of the new

discs.

If you haven't seen the brake lining replacement write-up,

also follow the link to that one from within this page.

Desser sells the Rapco's as a reminder.

Desser gave me a very nice deal on tires and tubes, buying their 

standard recaps exchanged for worn out cores. I've had very good service 

from their recaps here in Aridzona heat, much better than new tires. 

IIRC the exchange price gave about $10 credit for each core.

When I ordered new(recapped) Tires and Leakgard tubes from Dresser, based on

advice from this list I ordered a replacement set of RAPCO pads from Dresser

(aka VansRVTires) as well. I intended to replace the brake pads at my last

annual when I was doing the tires. However, I noticed that the pad were 1/4"

SHORTER in length than the old pads. The rivet holes align perfectly and

they are stamped/marked with the correct part number. I put them aside as

there was plenty of pad left on the existing pads, and intended to call

Dresser and ask ... why?? IMO the -10 is not blessed with brakes that are

TOO big and I wsn't interested in loosing any braking ability. Seeing this

thread reminded me that I haven't called. Anybody else notice this or have

more info chime in.

yes, they are smaller but they will last longer than what you had before, 

from what I was told.

I put on a set that Pascal gave me.... noticed they were slightly smaller.... but they seem to do the job just fine.
