style refills?
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/brakeshoes.html#campagnolo
I picked up some NOS Dia-Compe cantilever shoes and had high hopes for
them, but when I looked at them closely they are longer than the Campy
refills, and aren't refillable without modifications (I suppose I could
grind one end off and then drill and tap them for a setscrew, but that
doesn't solve the problem of not being able to refill them.)
I want to use KS Salmon pads on my bike, and would prefer to keep an old
school look. If the answer to the above question is "no" I'm going to
order these from VO:

DiaCompe's dovetail doesn't match Campagnolo's, as you found.
I recommend Kool Stop Eagle II. If you want to use your
removable inserts, get some vintage Mafac holders.

I'm actually trying to replace some Eagle IIs. I had ordered some but
threaded stud ones showed up on my doorstep instead of the smooth stud
ones I'd ordered :(
where the heck would one find Mafac holders? Don't tell me... you've
got a drawer full of 'em?
I know, I'm weird, but sometimes the little touches make a big
difference (to me.) Kind of like looking for a vintage Sun Super Tach
for my car instead of going to the parts store and buying the "Sunpro
Super Tach II" that you can buy all day every day for $40...

No longer available. Best solution is to get the VO silver holders and
eventually put KS DA salmon rubbers in 'em.

Yup, exactly! Are those still available for sale anywhere?

Fleabay, if you're lucky. Eagle IIs are the best smooth post pad
that's commonly available. That would be my choice--as the VO holders
might look sharp and work fine--the EIIs have something like twice the
material contacting the rim and last ages.

No good. Unless you are a slave to fashion, the Kool-Stop Continental
with salmon compound is the best brake pad you can find. It cannot
separate from its attachment bolt and it is secured by a self locking
nut. See illustration:

I'm not so sure. Scott-Matthauser pads had a greater tendency to melt
under extreme loads than Kool Stop Salmon pads. Whether this was due
to the greater thickness of the Scott pads or the aluminum backing
cast into the Kool Stop pads is unclear, but it might be a simple
matter of differences between their otherwise similar compounds.

I expect that varience in the production process due to the extra
thermal capacity of the metal in the Kool Stop created differences in
stability of the rubber due to a more prolonged time of vulcanization
with the Kool Stops.

Melting was my experience early on when S-M was offering his clumsy
"pair of pliers" brake caliper and slip-in pads that melted. That is
how I got to Kool-Stop. I still have one and remnants in a collection
of arcane hardware.
