What are you guys doing for brakes? Is there a suitable substitute for the OEM/pricy originals?

good used are just fine on dreams. I clean/deglaze them with a trip to the sandblaster.
Good luck

Right...but are there any New aftermarket shoes that fit? I haven't had time to measure them yet, but are there any other brand-names that would fit? There's got to be, somewhere. I got some new shoes for my CA95 - I had to sand them down a bit with a palm sander, but they work.
