custom magura pads?

[crash]

hi. who knows how the rubber is holding on those custom made aluminium pads? (clue or some ledge on aluminium surface)

because I ordered such pads to be made....but now I understood that I have no idea how to apply my rubber on it

Glue. Or nails if you're stupid.

yeah it fits inside of the backing and is almost certainly glued in there as well. you could also compression fit it in there by making the material's dimensions a little larger and cramming it in to the backing. in my experience that holds really well on its own, without glue (obviously depending on how tight you make it), but they've got some amazing adhesives these days, so there's not a whole lot of point in fucking around with that unless you're trying a bunch of different compounds and want to change pads easily.

if you don't want to deal with it too much, you can apply a light coating of standard superglue around the inner edge of the pad material.

You can do without any adhesive, if the rubber fits very tight.
I brought a set of old Plazmatic pads back to life by putting in new rubber.
I had to use a vice to press the rubber into the backings, so there's no need for glue.

I would recommend against using them without glue. Find and use 3M DP190. It's formulated to hold urethanes to aluminum and can be purchased for less than $15.
