Steering clutch brake bands, and my postulation for modifying the existing lining (including replacing the aluminum rivets with brass), or completely relining with segments from new friction material instead of the "fire hose" type OEM lining.
The light colored band has the worst rivet job I've ever seen some rivets are not even countersunk. The dark colored band is the second worse job some rivets have separated and bulged the lining. Even the end clip is randomly riveted (which is not really a concern).
