Christoph,

Ět is a challenge to find the parts, but RS-Components will deliver to
your door in 24 hours, and the brown stuff, which is more than adequate,
can be had here:

Or search for part no. 681-227

A nice alternative is here: It is the G6 "Ivory", known for it`s
excellent machining properties, as well as the high tracking resistance.

Even if you have access to free teflon, it is not a good material for a
RSG disk, being neither stiff nor strong.
