I have a B35 1950 with goodyear brakes.
Has anyone found a good source for rotors, clips and pads?

Also does anyone know if the pads are the 1" Thick and Thin Type
or the Large Style? I dont know how large the "large" style are, and
cant really tell the dimensions of the pads from looking from the
outside... It appears to be about an inch but I'm not sure....

The easiest way to get brake pads is to take the old ones to a brake and clutch rebuild shop and get the appropriate thickness material. The pads can be cut out with a hacksaw and trimmed to shape with a disk sander. Mine have lasted 350 hrs. and show no appreciable wear.
