Hawk may have discontinued their pads. I asked Carbotech and they replied
“Yes, we can apply new material to your old backing plates but they must be free of the old pad material before you send them in.”
I still have some life in my pads. Anyone knows if you can purchase either the backing or backing with pads?

The seller shows a photo of a magnet not being attracted to the backing plates. The originals were made from inconel which is a high temperature nickel alloy which is non-magnetic. $275 seems like a deal… I remember about ten years ago an nos set of pads would set you back $1000.
