I made a punch to make new leather discs for my various distributors, though I went to a local shoe-repair shop and bought a replacement heel piece. The leather is about a quarter-inch thick and cost me all of a dollar. There was enough material there to cover about 10 vacuum brakes, far more than I'll ever need.
