Braking use Talon in Somerset.

I used to get their brake pads for my TY250 back in the 80s and 90s
It used to go through pads for fun.

Made to the same pattern as the original (and hopefully same quality) but not by the original part manufacturer. Yes 'Aftermarket'

often made by the same company

Ferodo make lots of OEM branded brake products and aftermarket parts under their own name.

It’s a very old word, from the Latin, patronas, meaning ‘father’.

Yes, that is the set I bought for mine at the time too.
And one million of those tiny tiny washers.

I ordered the Galfer discs and bobbins direct from Calsport, £222.70 for the pair including next day delivery. I'll report back if they turn out to be made of Chinese cheese
