My Gran Compe calipers need new pads. Kool Stop does not have a replacement model, but the Modolo inserts are the right size for the pad holders. So off to the modification bench to see if I can make them fit.

The pad and the holder. Note the post in the middle of the holder, which prevents the pad from full insertion.

The modification; remove a bit of the pad with a Dremel and sanding wheel.

After removing a bit of the center oft he pad.

Finished pad install and back to a normal look for the brake blocks.
