For one thing, it is probably not glued on, it is bonded on (epoxy, heat, pressure). Second, you can find parts for these cheap on E-Bay and local yard sales. Last one I worked on the owner had found new deck belts for $1 each.
Try E-Bay's WANT IT NOW if you can't find what you want listed for cheap.
I have no idea what they cost, what are we talking, $20 new? I see used ones for $5-$10 on E-bay. Personally with the holes that I see and how the pads mount, I would go to Northern Tools and see what I could match up for a go cart even if it meant drilling a hole here or there.

Go to a big truck mechanic and get an old brake shoe and you would have the material
for quite a few brake jobs from one used shoe!! Get that titanium epoxy and use that
it is the only stuff I can think that would hold up to the demands.
