what glue to repair a brake pad ?

turnipbmw · Dec 10, 2012

the brake pad on my DRZ400 has come away from its backing.

got loads of meat left on it (1.5mm) so I'm going to glue it back on.

glued up a hole in the tyre of my old GSXR1000 with double bubble and it got me to Nurburgring, 15 laps and back so think I may try that. :thumb2

No More Nails is pretty good stuff or if cash is a problem a stiff flour and water mix might hold.

It might be a good idea to bung in a couple of self tappers as well, just for peace of mind loike

think about this .

why has it de-laminated ? because something doesn't want to be attached to something else .

therefore what you are trying to do is glue two things together , that do not want to be together , or at best you are glueing to something that is unstable .

i have had people come in here with pads held together with insulating tape .

if you are this stupid ......what sort of flowers shall we buy you ?

You don't think Araldite is a good option then? :augie

could you video this repair as tutorial?

and perhaps we need a new section for "interesting bodges"

carpet tape you know the really expensive stuff £3 a roll might work, it's proper sticky...

Perfectly reasonable

I'm going to try my staple gun, sounds like a good idea to get the pads to stick to the back plate

I've done 20k miles since I stripped the caliper bolts on one of the fork legs of my GS, I just used some extra thick zip ties
to hold the caliper on

Job's a good'un ever since :thumb2

My wife swears by Blu Tac for repairing leaking pipes, give it a go.

Well the guy next door to me bypassed his gas meter with rubber pipe and sealed with BluTac

Called Gas Board out for a M A S I V E smell of gas ... they used a sniffer and found it to be coming from the air bricks under his front door i.e. in his cellar

The idiot has since been 'moved on'

Pritt stick (or should that be prick stick)?

dean0n0 · Dec 10, 2012

Leave the front alone, just slide it in to corners on opposite lock.......

ppgser · Dec 10, 2012

I completely understand the point of trying to save cash in these difficult times.

I have used wallpaper paste with great results in the past.

What can you lose?

dean0n0 · Dec 10, 2012

Don't use the worn braking material, hardboard is lighter and will stick better

turnipbmw · Dec 10, 2012

obvioulsy just relying on glue would be stupid and dangerous, so will go for the screw option as well.

I guess I will need to machine a groove in the disc so the heads dont rub :nenau

If the discs are 'drilled' then just line up the screw head with the holes in the discs then you wont have to recess them into the pad material. :thumb2
