I got in touch with them and they say that they are the only ones they supply, though they have had the same problem reported by someone else. Has anyone come across this, and if so, where did you get the right ones from?

Paddy. I'm a little unsure about this info. because of the trike/mono factors however I have a couple of Aircraft Spruce & Speciality Co. packets marked "Rapco brake lining#RA 66-1?6 p/n 06-16956" Loc:19A" I can't make out the ? I also had some confusion from Europa over the length of the rivets. However I broke one lining and managed to use a spare lining canibalised from my unused Mono brake so there must be some commonality. I strongly advise you to use the correct rivet fitting tool ...that's why I buggered one! Europa is telling "porkies" since I'm quite sure my linings came from them because I wouldn't have researched the Rapco linings myself. I think there in lies the solution ....the Rapco rivets supplied with the Rapco Linings aren't long enough so you need the longer rivets from Europa !
