Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.

i modify them to use as brake pads on a sort of in house built lathe come polisher we use. only need to chop a small bit off the metal and they work a treat. trouble is, i can't get hold of the original ones any more so i have to use the old used xx ones which only last a couple of months so any pads with some meat left on them are really useful :wink)
