Thanks for the tip, Sheldon! Years ago, after having the $hit scared out of me decending a long, steep hill in the rain, with a traffic light and cross-traffic at the bottom, I replaced my front NR brake blocks with a pair of finned Scott-Mathauser ones I found at the LBS. They had bolts and nuts and they worked. I don't care if they don't look exactly like the original NR parts, so long as they fit and work.
