We also stock the pads for the older F04 calipars. We just can not get the calipars or rebuild kits any longer.

Anyone know where I can find a latch for a friendship III? I managed to break the inside latch when closing the sidecar this weekend when I didn't notice it was flipped inward : I can run just the outer one to keep the lid closed, but would be nice to find a replacement...
I found a SS one for $60 : http://www.thethingshop.com/prodinfo.asp?number=181871383-5ST
Tire suggestion for Canadians... in a Gold Wing forum I read some good advice regarding checking date codes on tires. Checked the tire on my CSC Friendship II and discovered that it was 17 years old! Obviously not a lot of miles put on my sidecar since new, as there was still lots of tread depth remaining. I found a MotoMaster AW 155/80R13 at Canadian Tire for only $38 - it seems to fit well enough (no rubbing), and I have my height adjust linear actuator set at only 25%, so the tub sits pretty low over the wheel/tire. Cheap Tire, and replacements available at Cdn Tire stores coast to coast.
Well, CSC is holding true to form.
They pick some of the oddest interchange parts.
I lost a lug nut and played hell finding one to fit. It's a standard 1/2-20 thread, but extends through the rim. Finally came up with a match...Wouldn't you know? A 1980 AMC Eagle!

Thank you for the FSIII drawing, I'm putting a hitch light cable on today and this will help!
