Fred,
I've had good luck simply buffing out the pucks and the caliper.  It's just
 aluminum, and rarely does the puck get damaged. It does get a bit rough fr
om corrosion.  A freshly smoothed caliper and puck with a new O ring seems 
to work well.  I use a cotton wheel on a Dremel type tool and some red jewe
lers rouge after a sanding with 1000 grit paper to shine it up.  O rings ar
e tough to find.  Especially the square edged ones.  I'm no help there.

I have no spare calipers as I have a Europa mono in the shop with some seri
ous gear/brake issues and may have to rebuild everything!  I find it odd th
at the gear and brakes passed inspection for the last two annuals in this c
ondition.

I'm afraid if your disk and caliper are in bad shape the cost of replacemen
ts is getting harder.  Consider the Berringer Brake unit as a long term sol
ution.  I'm just too old to worry about long term, so I spend the time and 
buff and clean.

Best Regards,
Bud Yerly

Gentlemen,

I=92m hoping to source a mono brake puck here in the US, perhaps from someo
ne who=92s converted to trigger.

Please let me know if anyone might have one for sale,

Fred
