Does anyone know the OEM manufacturer of the Matco brakes pads used on their RV-10 wheels?

I’m trying to locate another source of the pads. The ones I got from Matco are wearing way too quickly. I may give Rapco a call and see if they have an offering.

Thanks,

Bob

I presume the pads were ‘conditioned’? Extremely light use may result in a need to repeat the procedure.

Why do you think that is, Bob?  I plan on upgrading to the Matco wheel/brake assy's from the get-go for more stopping power here on the 2100' grass strip.  Berringers seem too pricey and I'm not sure how I feel about the tubelessness and possible repairs in the field.  Concerned to hear the pad wear is not up to expectations.

Unless that grass is really dry, you aren't going to get much braking on it, regardless of which brakes you have.
