I'm building my mugen mbx5 kit. It says to use "rubber" glue to glue the brake pads to their matching metal parts. What the heck is rubber glue? What kind of glue have you guys used for this?

Anyone?...

Anyone?...

Bueller?

rubber cement.... you can get it from you local hobby store, or a craft store... like Micheals.

Don't glue the pads to the backing, let it all float and use shock O rings between the to keep them from dragging on the rotor when they are released.

i was wondering. That is how it is on my PCR. Thought it was wierd that Mugen would use glue. What is this you say about the o-rings Fhm? where do they go? i did not know of this. A picture may help me.

When you stack your brake parts on their studs, put a shock seal O ring between the friction pads. You can also get little springs from OFNA for the same thing, or make your own from a ball point spring. The O ring or springs will keep the pads pushed apart so they won't drag on your brake rotors when you are not using them.

awesome. Thanks bro... i learn something to better myself or my buggy every day.

I would be hesitant about not glueing them, might they have a chance of getting torn off?

i have no problem with mine. I know there is probably different methods, but i know mine is okay. I am going to use the o-ring tip though.
