[comanche91]

Are there any? I haven't been able to locate one. Thanks.

EDIT: Just noticed I placed this in the wrong forum, but I can't delete it or move it.

978 EBC Brake Shoes REAR

Unfortunately these brake shoes are not in stock in the US, but the company can get them within 2-3 weeks. I'm going to order a set and thought I'd ask if anyone needed a set also. They fit all MZ Rotax 500 models (except the 500R) and the MZ TS and ETZ 250s and larger. Let me know.........

Don,
I found you a set http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... &viewitem=

Wow, you sure did.

$7900 (and that doesn't even meet the reserve) is a bit much for a pair of shoes John. Georgeous bike though. Of the ten Silvy Gespan's imported to the US, this must be the only one that's not in Miami. I saw three of them last time I was down there.

Hi
I'm a little late on this thread but it could be useful info...
Look in your local area for a shop that relines brakes (usually mostly for big trucks) for example cascade friction material in Tacoma WA will happily bond new friction material of your choice to your shoes and arc to fit your hubs! Its the way to go for vintage bikes, NOS shoes are OLD and crappy.
