John, Just as Mike suggested, Speedway has pads listed in their catalog.

Hi John,
175X2 Airhearts were used on the front of my Bobsy (clone) and my Quasar back
in the day. Airheart 175X1s were used in back. Airhearts were used a lot
for circle track midget cars. I found replacement rebuild kits and
replacement pads (front) and pucks (rear) from circle track racing suppliers.
Later, I had White Post restorations re-line the worn-out bores in the
calipers. They never leaked afterwards. You may be able to find complete
brakes from circle track suppliers. I’ve been away from racing for some
years, but check Speedway motors and try to talk to circle track midget guys
for possible sources.
Good luck with your racing,
Mike (Myron) Boyajian

Guys, this last winter I was seriously thinking about buying Jeff McKay's
beautiful SR3, but ended up getting a Beach Mk4b instead. The Beach was NOT
the smart buy as condition was no where near as good as Jeff's well priced
priced SR3. Had I twice as much $, I would have bought both ;-)
I'm hoping you guys will take mercy on me for not buying Jeff's car, and
give me some leads on brake calipers.
The Beach used Airheart brake calipers back in the day, like Bobsy's and
other American sports racers in the 60's and early 70's. Unfortunately, my
Beach showed up with Wilwoods on the rear, even though the FS photos all
showed Airhearts 175x2 calipers.
So, I am seeking a pair of 175x2 (4 pads per caliper) for this Beach.
Thank you for any leads.
